In this Dec. 18, 2018, photo, people cross a street as pyramid-shaped Ryugyong Hotel is seen in the background in Pyongyang, North Korea. Transformed into the backdrop for a gargantuan propaganda display, Pyongyang's yet-to-be-completed 105-story Ryugyong Hotel is once again the talk of North Korea. In a brilliant flip of the script, the uninhabited, pyramid-like building that towers over the North's capital has been festooned with more than 100,000 lights that for several hours every night flash propaganda far and wide.
