Here's how not to manage money

5 huge modern buildings, ghosts, whose existence in the unbelievable.

All sometimes do not very successful investments - buying too expensive car, or something else like that. But such mistakes are and entire countries: it billions in projects, governments abandoned in the middle of construction, which remain in place only as a result of post-apocalyptic ruins. Good places that you can go there easily, passing the guard.

Will be 27 photos + text.





1. Huge abandoned water park in Russia.



In 1997, in Russia, it was decided to build a huge indoor water park - under a deal isolated large piece of land and began to build. The work was done five years, and then turned to the construction, but never resumed.



Water Park was built for the World Festival of Youth. List of money spent makes it clear that money is not spared waterpark was be a 12-storey building under a glass roof - three floors underground and nine above ground. It was planned to build five pools with diving board and water slides and golf lessons athletics.



Also, there had to be something called "Sports Palace" - we are fond of such names. This "palace" would be a hotel for visiting athletes, as well as the seat of cafes and a medical center.



But now the water park - a great place to hunt zombies. Construction, unfortunately, was associated with a number of problems - the World Festival of Youth was scheduled for 1998, and began to build a water park in 1997. Of course, it was impossible to catch, but construction continued until 2002, the year before the government realized that go back in time is impossible.



In 2007, the year the land was purchased in private ownership, but to ... to what, exactly? Apparently nothing, because as the building was well worth it. Excellent playground for paintball would have been, by the way. There only have to sweep.



2. False settlement in North Korea.



A North Korea! In our article could fit at least a dozen projects in this country, but we talked it all edited and selected kijong-dong: nobody here has ever lived, in fact, no one should have to live here.



Kijong-dong - one of the two settlements near the demilitarized zone (buffer zone width of four kilometers, which is necessary only for the two Koreas remained different states). North Korea is trying to convince the world that kijong-dong - inhabited settlement: there supposedly lived 200 farm families. Actually, the settlement - only snag, designed to show how to "good" and "modern" living conditions of the citizens of North Korea.



South Koreans look at all this from their telescopes (kijong-dong perfectly visible from their territory) and must laugh. Most of the houses in kijong-dong are empty and never used.



The funny thing is that kijong-dong perhaps the most pleasant town in North Korea, because it was built specifically to persuade South Koreans how cool live their neighbors. It's not only funny, but also a little sad: firstly, it is cheating at the level of a five-year child, and secondly, the sweetest town in North Korea and in the soles will not do the most run-down village neighbors.



In kijong-dong can be seen walking down the street people. This is actually a specially hired actors: the need to create the impression that the city is busy. Living in the city, they really can not, because, despite the apparent grooming, inside all the houses are empty concrete box - there are no interior walls, floors and glass windows. But electricity is (this city compares favorably with many other North Korean towns) - the illusion must be complete, a trifle in this case is impossible.



3. The Olympic Park has become a war zone.



Olympic Games 1984, the year took place in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia - is now the country no longer exists. And, of course, the country disappeared from the map not just, as a result of the hostilities and some tricky politics. A large and beautiful Olympic facility, was built here in the best of times, and now looks like this:



Here bobsled built over 563,209,000 Yugoslav dinars:



We do not know exactly how much is in rubles or even in dollars, but it is certainly a fabulous sum. Once there opened fire with mortars, the track has become one of the most bizarre in the history of artillery fortresses. Now, bombed-out remains of slow rot, useless.



Here ski jump should be from him was very convenient to throw bombs at enemies. Near -podёmnik, ideal for sniper cover.



In contrast - Photos from the opening of the Olympic Games 1984 year.



4. Abandoned Airport in Spain.

Construction of the Central Airport of Ciudad Realskogo cost Spain to € 1 billion. It seems that it was logical - the airport was not far from Madrid and Andalusian coast. Look - here's how it looks like in the busy day.



Fully completed the airport opened in 2009 year, but instead of the expected 10 million passengers a year by the Central Ciudad Realskim airport benefited about 22 thousand people in a short time of its operation. Airport closed in 2011, the year. Pathetic two years - in the longer it is not enough. But the country has got because of his debts in the amount of € 500 million.



Most of the objects, including the huge terminal building area of ​​more than 2, 6 square kilometers, fell into disrepair and are not used. Airport boasts a very broad empty parking lots, runways and corridors leading to nowhere. It looks like an eerie reminder of the economic catastrophe.



And now the good news: the airport is sold at a very low price - just € 100 million (not counting tiny polumilliardny debt). So if you've always loved the airport, but hated it when people travel, aircraft and its own money, it is the best place for a new summer home. There even have a hell of a deserted road.



5. Let the city where they could live millions of people.

This Chinese city kangbashi, located in Inner Mongolia.



In fact, Kang Bashi is located in the densely populated region of the Ordos, but it looks like a metropolis, which wiped out the entire population of the plague. All high-rise apartment buildings look so clean and new, because they are really new - in fact, most of them no one has ever lived.



Somewhere in the city is home to 20,000 people. You think it's not so little? Well, kangbashi calculated per million inhabitants. It is the largest and newest ghost town in the world.



In kangbashi is not only a high-rise apartment. There is a museum, a stadium and the opera house, all finished recently, everything is ready for use. Visit these places only ghosts, and it is probably rare.



Ironically, the demand used the apartment - apparently, once they have purchased. The whole town was built before the arrival of the residents - they are there just is not reached. But why buy a house in which you plan to live?
It's simple: many Chinese citizens do not trust the stock market, so they think it is much safer to invest in real estate. The result is a city where all the apartments legally someone has, but in reality they are not wanted.
Well, but there is a giant in the world of karting.
