I fall on something very weird today. Did you know that the world’s tallest Hotel could be in North Korea? The Ryugyong Hotel, the 105 Building, is a concrete skyscraper that was once intended for use as a hotel. The construction of the hotel has began in 1987 and has been ceased in 1992. Still today, nobody knows exactly why. Maybe due of the lack of funding, the Japanese newspapers estimated the cost of construction was US$750 million. The North Korean government is trying to invite foreign investment of US$300 million to improve and finish the hotel. In the meantime, it has removed the Ryugyong from maps. If it had it been completed, it would have been the world’s tallest hotel. The Ryugyong’s hotel planned 3,000 rooms and 7 restaurants. The fact that it is so huge, so strange, and incomplete make my mind boggle. I ‘d like to have a look inside myself.

Today, I was attracted by the architecture of the Free University of Berlin. The university is the largest university in Berlin. Research at the university is focused on humanities, social sciences, health and natural science. One of the newest components on the campus is the Philological Library. Opened in 2005, the library holds more than 700,000 volumes. The library was designed by Norman Robert Foster, one of the leading British architects of the United Kingdom and in the world. It’s the kind of library that I will go regularly and do some blogging. I hope you will enjoy your visit.
