The monolithic concrete pyramid that has loomed over Pyongyang, North Korea since topping out in 1992 is finally getting a face lift. Glass panels and construction netting have been attached to the 105-story Ryugyong Hotel over the last few months, apparently the result of a bid by an Egyptian telecommunications company to develop North Korea’s first publicly-accessible cellular telephone network.
