ʻO ia ka Hotel Ryugyong ma Kōlea ʻĀkau, kahi i hakahaka ʻia ai ka hale nui ʻo 22 a ʻoi paha kekahī a ʻoi paha e noho pēlā… mau loa.
He weliweli ka Ryugyong Hotel, hoʻokahi haneli a me ʻelima mau lumi, e hoʻomalu nei i ka lewa lani ʻo Pyongyang e like me ka mana o ka hale aliʻi ʻo Cinderella o North Korea i wili ʻia. ʻAʻole ia e hiki iā ʻoe ke haʻi mai nā kiʻi aupuni aupuni o ke kapena nui o Korea Hema - he maka nui ka hōkele, uhi pinepine ke aupuni Komunista iā ia, airbrushing iā ia e like me he wehe lā - a i ʻole Photoshopping a i ʻole ke kāʻili ʻana iā ia. o nā kiʻi loa.
ʻOiai ma nā kūlana Komunista, ʻinoʻino loa ka hōkele ʻo 3,000-lumi, kahi ʻekolu o nā ʻēheu keleawe ʻelima 328 kapuaʻi ka lōʻihi i hana ʻia i loko o kahi pyramid pali. Me nā ʻelima he 75 e piʻi aʻe i ka piko o 1,083 kapuaʻi, ʻo ka Hotel of Doom (ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Phantom Hotel a me ka Phantom Pyramid) ʻaʻole ʻo ia ka hale i hoʻolālā ʻia ʻoi loa ma ka honua - ʻo ia ka hale kūkulu maikaʻi loa ʻia pū kekahi. .

Ua kū ke kūkulu ʻana ma ka Hōkele o Doom i ka makahiki 1992 (mālama nā lono i ka pau ʻana o ke kālā a Kōlea ʻĀkau, a i ʻole hana hewa ʻia ka hale a ʻaʻole hiki ke noho ʻia) ʻaʻole hoʻi i hoʻomaka i hope, ʻaʻole ia e pīhoihoi. Ma hope o nā mea āpau, ʻo wai ka pō e hele aku i ke kaona nani ʻo Pyongyang? He mea kūpono inā aia ka hōkele ma Kōlea Hema, kahi i ʻae ʻia ai nā poʻe ʻAmelika e huakaʻi a kahi e piʻi ai nā papahana e like me ka Busan Lotte Tower a me ka Lotte Super Tower i kēia manawa he mau kaukani kapuaʻi ma mua o ka lewa lani haʻahaʻa.

No ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ka pōʻaiapili, e noʻonoʻo inā ʻaʻole ʻo John Hancock Center (1,127 kapuaʻi kiʻekiʻe) ma Kikako (ka heluna 2.9 miliona) ʻaʻole hakahaka wale, akā ʻaʻole i pau me ka manaʻolana ʻole e hoʻopau mau ʻia.
ʻAʻole paha hiki iā ʻoe ke noho maoli ma laila, akā i kēia manawa ka hale o kāna mau luna waiwai waiwai ponoʻī, ʻo Richard Dank lāua ʻo Andreas Gruber, kahi hui o nā mea kālaiʻike Kelemania a ua wehewehe pono ʻia iā lāua iho “nā mea mālama i nā ʻano like ʻole o ka pyramid. Holo ka duo iā Ryugyong.org, ka mea a lākou e wehewehe ai ma ke ʻano he "kahua hoʻokolohua hana pūnaewele hoʻokolohua." Kaumaha ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke kipa i ka hale i ke ola maoli? ʻEʻe, e nānā i nā hiʻohiʻona 3-D kikoʻī, a "koi" i kahi ʻāpana no ʻoe iho.
