Just a couple hours ago I was on gmail chat with my youngest sister who is visiting Korea right now. She was telling me she's going to visit the Demilitarized Zone tomorrow. I'll tell her to check out this hotel; as long as she keeps changing direction suddenly while running she should have no problems getting across the border.

They don't shoot tourists, just everybody who attempts to communicate them or address them in any way.


Goddamn I hate the NK government.

It's like deciding to have a child, there you have this wonderful little baby who chuckles, smiles and is very gregarious. Then it starts to grow up or you divorce your partner and you really start to regret it.

Dude.

Who modified my post? And for what purpose? It doesn't make sense in context. The Kims are known as "Dear Leader"

Every time we talk about North Korea, I get Everyday Combat by Lostprophets stuck in my head.  I am seriously frightened of ever going near this place.  Which is why they need a private airport strictly for people wishing to see this hotel.  Minimal chance of being murdered just for wanting to visit a kickass building.

also troll i can no longer take you seriously, every time you post all i hear is "GET YO ASS BACK IN MY HOUSE"

North Korea truly is terrifying and the people are horrifically oppressed.

However.... if you want to see awesome buildings just go to Chicago, our buildings are the awesom-est! I am really looking forward to the Spire, not to derail the thread (*stairs worriedly at trollstormur's avatar*)

If I wanted to be taken seriously, I would post more in depth things than horrible things I find on the internet.

Anybody who randomly starts screaming for the glory of the Emperor can't be taken seriously.

We recently built a "skyscraper" in my "city", it completely dominates the skyline and has this white sort of oblong shaped thing on the top, so it looks like a giant tic tac was dropped on it!
We didnt even know it was being built and then all of a sudden *poof* there it is! There was a huge dispute in Dublin over this "skyscraper" being built there,yet here in Cork ,where I'm from, we werent even told what this big grey thing was!
man i love ireland!

I wish with my entire heart to some day see Ireland  :cry:

I am loving this skyscraper boom though, Chicago's got fifteen under construction, two approved, and twenty-one proposed buildings right now and they all bleed awesomeness.

Do you know where I could read more about the tictac building? (I am nine kinds of nerd 8-))

Ireland isnt that great, its green and all but ye know... thats about it! unless of course you enjoy crazy culchie types in little villages in west cork and the west of ireland, WAHEY alcohol fuelled ceilis!

well this building is called the elysian, and it doesnt really look too tic tacky, i just have a weird way of looking at things!
i think there could possibly be a site,google the heart out of it sure!
the elyscian, cork.

Post by: Vendetagainst on 24 Jul 2008, 12:51
You just can't appreciate it 'cause you live there  :-)
I had to look up both culchie and celie, but I imagine that I absolutely would love them  :laugh:

http://www.theelysian.ie/Enter/?firstTime=yes
I like the building, it seems to be going for a super-ritzy atmosphere though, which I suppose isn't necessarily a bad thing but I prefer the blue collar myself (not like any skyscraper is going to be blue collar, but still  :-P)

I just found out that there is currently a skyscraper named(?) Elysian being built in Chicago, weird.



*edit* I'd also like to throw this out there:
http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/

it's got information on shitloads of buildings throughout the world, including the Ryugyong and whatnot.

PAHAHAHAHA " a very stylish affair".. my fuckin' hole it is!
its a pure eyesore,i live about 10 mins walk from it, and it blocks half our view of the city from my house!
you can see it from every part of cork, its just a pure balls tbh!

but sure if there's gonna be places for people to live, how bad like!
