	Messages from Alumna - KORYO
		Koryo offered extensive English and secretarial classes, which I believed would be suitable for gaining knowledge and skills that would prove useful in the real world.
		I chose Koryo International College because I felt the college would offer many options to help me pursue what I wanted to do after two years of college education, whether I choose to study abroad, transfer to a four-year college, or to seek employment.
		One of the main reasons I chose Koryo International College was that it would give me opportunity to study abroad, to learn how to use a personal computer, and to take numerous certification tests during my two years of college life.

		During his two months, he stayed at the Yanggakdo Hotel, but he visited other foreigners in the Koryo Hotel.

		By the time I arrived, they had been given the green light to associate freely with anyone who happened to be in the hotel at the same time, but it was still against the rules for them to go to the hotels except when they had official business there.
		The International Club and the three oldest hotels, the Haebangsan Hotel, the Taedonggang Hotel and the Pyongyang Hotel, were all clustered in the vicinity of the Taedong Bridge.
		The Koryo and the country's other luxury hotel, the Myohyangsan at Mount Myohyant, are remarkable for not containing enormous pictures of the leader in the entrance hall.

		The majority of the tourist hotels - foreign tourists are allowed to stay only in certain properties, and cannot be accommodated in the local inns, known as yeogwans- are concentrated in Pyongyang.
		The best-known, also the largest and most luxurious hotel is the 45-storey high Pyongyang Koryo Hotel, located just 5 minutes’ walk from the local railway station.

	washingtonpost.com: Glimpses of Reality in North Korea's Capital
		Those are a few passing glimpses of one of the world's least-known and most isolated capital cities -- snapshots, really, gleaned mostly from the windows of a speeding van, from late evening strolls along spacious but nearly empty sidewalks, and from the casual remarks of government guides and the few foreign residents.
		And there is a pyramid-shaped 105-story hotel that dominates the skyline, but was never opened because of a structural flaw that left it leaning at a decidedly dangerous slant.
		The grandest monument of all is the massive mausoleum where the body of the Great Leader lies on display for crowds numbering in the hundreds who wait patiently in a long, single line to pay their respects.

		This time I stayed at a hotel where my neighbours were the troupe of the famous Moiseyev Dance group from Moscow and many people in lifts spoke Chinese.
		I hope readers will not protest against my using the classic trick of comparing impressions of several visits to a country, the more so that the last time I visited North Korea in the summer of 2002, the country was launching a history-making economic reform.
		But this time I was staying in the 47-storey Hotel Yanggakdo, which has an almost empty restaurant turning around in the clouds at the top.

	Hotel Stories in Pyongyang \|\| HotelChatter
		What we are saying is if hotels were split into two groups, superheroes and villains, this hotel would be the leader of the villains.
		In one bloggers opinion the Ryugong Hotel is "the single most unsettling structure ever erected by the hand of man".
		The hotel was designed to have 3,000 rooms, yet if every single Pyongyang area visitor booked a weeklong stay, the hotel would still be hanging a vacancy sign on the front door.

		At that point in our discussion in the hotel lobby, a North Korean man in his late 30s walked into the area, clearly unhappy that the aid worker was communing with another foreigner.
		But five nights in Pyongyang's Koryo Hotel, in the centre of a city where soldiers guard the train station with AK-47s, is something else.
		After a meal and a few litres of beer -- lunches are plentiful and generally of the liquid variety in the Koryo Hotel, despite the food shortages plaguing ordinary citizens -- our minders would stretch out and become unusually verbose, giving rare insights on life in their insular country.

	Ari on the web: A place to rest my head
		The outer shell of this hotel which dominates the Pyongyang skyline was built in the 1980s, and the interior was, well, never built.
		The Yanggakdo Hotel is a slice of Cold War Bondesque paranoia writ large.
		The Yanggakdo Hotel is a surprisingly lively place, populated by a range of oddball characters, many of them up to no good, and oddball places for them to be odd and be no good.

		To the west of the city centre rises the pyramid-shaped concrete shell of what would have been an 80-storey hotel of monumental proportions.
		According to one version of events, there are major structural flaws, although it has been said there would be no point in completing it as there would never be guests to fill its rooms.
		Certainly, most floors of the 40-storey Koryo Hotel, the city’s premier accommodation, are unoccupied and unlit and those parts of the hotel that are in use are visibly in need of refurbishment.

		We left the station, taxied over the Yalu River Hotel where we had coffee (and Debee had a shampoo) and then boarded the train again which slowly crossed over the Yalu River and entered Sinuiju, the entrance to North Korea.
		The hustle and bustle of Dandong is in sharp contrast to the quiet, subdued atmosphere in Sinuiju.
		We learned the Koryo Hotel was full due to the large number of guests attending the Spring Festival and were put up for the night at the Information Center, an attractive hotel, designed by a Korean-Japanese and linked to the impressive Computer Center.

		With a population of 150,000, Kaesong, just across the demilitarized zone (DMZ) on the west coast, is the ancient capital of the 500 year Koryo Dynasty, home to the largest numbers of historical remains and relics in North Korea.
		Among the antiques thus collected are quite valuable Koryo celadon ware and less valuable white porcelain produced during the Yi Dynasty.
		North Korea is said to strictly administer state-designated historical remains, but rumors abound in the country that because some men of clout have been so desperate to divert them, quite a number of treasures have been smuggled out of museums.

	The Ryugyong Hotel - Pyongyang Like You've Never Seen It Before
		Towering above Pyongyang is The Ryugyong Hotel, a vast concrete construction that was never completed due to lack of investment, sitting as a monument to the idiocy of the country's regime and representing 3.9 million square feet of wasted space and wasted money.
		About the unfinished hotel project Ryugyong, it must be removed, at least the upper part of it, the costs are huge, however...so nothing is happening so far.
		It should be noticed, that this is the only hotel-project on hold in Pyongyang, as far as I have information, the other high-rise hotel buildings are already finished and operating, like the Koryo Hotel 1+2, the Chongnyon Hotel, the Sosan Hotel and the Changgwangsan Hotel Towers 1+2.

		When we returned to the Koryo Hotel, Dr. Cha had arrived and I presented him with 400,000 yen ($4,100) toward the $10,000 which I told him I hoped to raise within the next month.

		You are free to attempt a dialogue with a local but do not be surprised if they are not interested in talking to you, however it can be very rewarding when you do manage to make some human contact and your guides and Nick and Simon will make every effort to enable it.
		The hotels we use in Pyongyang are the deluxe class hotels; the Yanggakdo Hotel (usually) and the Koryo Hotel (occasionally) these hotel are western ¾ star equivalent and are equipped with bars, restaurants, shops, swimming pool, bowling, casino, and other entertainment facilities (including Karaoke of course).
		The hotels we use outside of Pyongyang are less well developed and have temperamental supplies of electricity and hot water, however there are some spectacular hotels in other places in DPRK such as the traditional Korean style Minsok (Folk) Hotel in Kaesong and the Pyramidal Hyangsan Hotel near Mount Myohyang

		The night will drag on into the wee hours, including a trek to another bar inside a tent, returning to the compound that is the Yanggakdo and heading to the basement where a casino is waiting to swallow just about everyone's money.
		Nevertheless, the hotels had never seen anything like the hordes of tourists who flocked to the capital during the second week of October.
		Viewed from the vantage point of the flash-card stadium and the hotel bar, the North Korean threat seems only slightly more plausible than that posed by Iraq, another sanctions-saddled state, when it was invaded by the US.

		The North Koreans began constructing the pyramid-shaped Ryugyong Hotel in 1987, reportedly aiming for 105 stories to beat out a structure the South Koreans were building in Singapore.
		According to http://www.skyscrapers.com, the concrete used in building the Ryugyong Hotel is of unsuitable quality and therefore is unsafe — it cannot therefore be completed as currently built.
		There were several busloads of Russians and even South Koreans staying at the Hotel Koryo when I was there (an elaborate goodbye was staged for three busloads of South Koreans one morning).
