But for some strange reason I am absolutely fascinated by it. It's so incredibly eerie. Like a bad car wreck, you don't want to, but you just have to look at it.

Due to north Korea's attitude towards the limiting of tourism, it doesn't make sense for them to spend that much money on a hotel that probably wouldn't even break even with the amount of people who would stay there. North Korea doesn't generally spend that much money on the civilian sector of thier society. And I must admit, the vacancy and halted construction coupled with the crane just left on the top of the structure do present an eerie feeling.
