Hotel of Doom is a mocking name for one of the biggest and most ugliest structures in the world. The real name of that behemoth is Ryugyong Hotel which is located in Pyongyang, North Korea. This hotel is one of the best examples of awful planning.

The communist regime in North Korea wanted to show the entire world that they can be equal to them in any aspect. And is there a better way to show the world how capable they are then by building a huge structure which will attract rich foreigner tourists and investors. That’s not a new North Korea’s government policy, they are doing that for quite a while. The primary goal is to keep their people content and to give them hope of better tomorrow.

Hotel of doom is the result of their efforts. A building so ugly and hideous that the North Korean government decided to remove it from all official photos by Photoshopping it. The building couldn’t be finished due to lack of funds, which was 2% of North Korea GDP at that time. Everything that has been done was in the period of 1987-1992 and building remains a big embarrassment for 20 years. Ryugyong Hotel shows us what can be a result of bad politics and mixing it with bad planning.

The video shows in which state Hotel Of Doom currently is. It’s a miracle we can even have this video because North Korea is very strict concerning videotaping the hotel.

For quite some time North Korean government is trying to find new investors for the Hotel Of Doom in Pyongyang. They think that 300 million US dollars would be enough to finish this structure and put it into use. But the quality of concrete is so low that the safety of that building is in question. It is most likely that the Ryugyong Hotel will stay as a permanent reminder of a North Korea’s failure. It was a great and beautiful attempt but it is a disappointment of huge proportions at the end.

If you feel like an underachiever from time to time, now you’re gonna have a big problem for sure. 10 year old veterinarian is something that will lower your self esteem if you already have problems with it. If that’s not the case, then this is just another interesting news to you.

Courtney Oliver is an animal lover like you’ve never seen before. It’s not just that she likes taking care of her pets and cleaning after them, she is a certified vet assistant with a degree at the South Bay Veterinary Hospital in Olympia, Seattle. That’s quite an achievement for a ten year old, don’t you think?. She’s also doing surgeries by herself, which is something hard to believe in.

The thing is, Courtney Oliver is a very smart girl who managed to complete the online courses necessary to receive the certificate required to become a registered veterinary technician. Yes, this is different then a 4 year college degree and absolutely nothing like a doctorate of Veterinary Medicine. But still, being a 10 year old veterinarian is quite a success.

Just imagine her 10 years from now on, what will she be doing?
