The memepool directed me towards the Ryugyong Hotel located in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang a while ago which I have been fascinated by ever since. Much of this interest is actually prompted by the abject lack of any information on it on account of the building being located in possibly one of the most secretive and quietly scary countries on the planet (am scared they may come and get me for linking to this page with these comments).Work started on it in 1987 but ceased in 1992 for reasons unknown but presumed to be due to a lack of cash on behalf of the North Korean government. Since then it has towered over the city like a massive and slightly satanic looking concrete corpse (seriously, take a look at this link if you don't any others, espeically the bottom picture).
This thing has been like this since 1992 and it just looks well, evil.

Following your post we consider this as a crime against our country and an act of war. We are coming to get you Nick101, you will be locked away in the Hotel of Evil which is actually a maximum security prison where you will be tortured by being forced to listen to Barbara Streisand 24/7 whilst watching re-runs of My Little Pony over and over again until your brain finally melts
Ah! They are coing to get me. Running away...
The North Korean Government is operating out of Islamabad, Pakistan which may be of interest to a number of international agencies.
We are not stupid like you Western dogs!!! We would never let you find out our true location. But suffice to say you will not be spreading your western lies and ideals from your Islamabad hiding place for much longer and will soon instead be living your last few days in terror and fear within the Hotel of Evil
I would also point out that the North Korean Government is also touting itself as a certain english county council.
Why the hell did North Korea think they needed a hotel?! They don't let anyone in!
General conjecture has it that it was supposed to dwarf the, at the time tallest hotel in the world, the Swissotel in Singapore, principally beacause it was constructed by a South Korean state supported company.
