Maybe it's because South Koreans live in the murky shadow of a rogue nation, run by a nut job boy-child that makes them appear to have such a bizzare sense of humour?
I've got a fetish for themed accommodation and when I first saw pictures of the Sun Cruise Resort, I assumed someone had gone crazy with photoshop - but the purpose built on-land cruise-themed resort appearing to be percasiously sitting on top of a hill is the real-deal and gives guests the experience of being on a luxury queen of the seas - but without the motion sickness.
From a distance, the Sun Cruise Resort and Yacht in Jeongdongjin, South Korea looks as if it's been beached on a cliff by a mega-wave.
But this spectacular hotel is one of the country’s top tourist destinations, boasting a restaurant, wedding hall, nightspot, volleyball court, fitness club and even netted golf range.
The mock-liner has 211 rooms, with an assortment of plush suites and self-contained apartments.
Guests enjoy sloping, nautical-themed rooms complete with wooden panelling and 'porthole' windows.
The sound of waves crashing against the deck is played over loudspeakers to give guests a further realistic cruise ship experience.
While, the revolving sky bar is said to boast the best views of sunrise in the country.
Other bespoke features include a sea water swimming pool and a karaoke bar. Rooms start at pocket-friendly £45.12 a night(80,000 South Korean Won).
Sea you there!
