Even though I love the Ryugyong hotel, I find little else appealing about either Cuba or North Korea.

1. The reasons why Cubans are driving cars that are 50 years old and live amongst dilapidated buildings is due to the despicable and illegal embargo imposed on them by the USA, so if you want to blame someone you should blame your own country.
2. To Compare North Korea to Cuba is insulting to say the least. Cuba might be dictatorial in some aspects, but I can assure you that Cubans enjoy a lot of freedoms that North Koreans can only dream about.
