Istanbul Turkey

Again I was in Istanbul. This time I livved in a appartement in Caddebostan, close to the "party street" Was great. But what I want to tell you is my expirience of my visit at the dentist there.

Here is the picture of the Dental Clinic.

I started to get some pain in my tooth, and asked a Coleague were and how to get a dentist.
He told me that there was a Dental Practice not far from were I lived, that was known to be the best in town.
Ok it was good enough for me, and I got the apointment for the next day.
I was a little shaky, cause I dont like dentists, but it soon showed that this was nothing to be afraid of. It was the most advanced and technologic dental clinic I have ever been into.
First I had a checkup with the doctor, and he told me to wait to go to x-.ray for my teeth.
Then after 2 minutes, a lady came inn, and took me up one floor to have an X ray of my teeth.
It was some kind of a 3D xray robot, that looked like it was from a movie.
The doctor then told me that I needed root channal, and I almoust passed out when I heard this.
Again a new doctor (that was expert in root channal) drugged me down, and started drilling.
I did not feel a thing.......
When she was finish drilling, and filled someting inn, she took a new ohoto to check that everything was OK, and then she finnished the job.
Everything was over in one hour, and it cofted me 170 Euro (what is very cheap compear with Norwegian price) the address is:

Mamaia Romania (Constanta)

This time in Romania (Constanta) was a bit strange. I was staying at a hotel north of Constanta in Mamaia. A typical turist area. Very nice, area, with everything you can expect from a turist area.
I livved at Hotel Vega, a five star hotel absolutley on the beach.
The staff was very friendly, and the food was great, but im not sure the hotel deserved al the five stars. But they tried their best, and maybe it is correct.

At Mamaia the people was cleaning, painting repairing 24 hours a day, and the dead streets suddenly changed the 30th of march to be full of tourists. It changed to be the quiet (boring) place to a true holiday place.
The disco's was fighting to play the loudest, and you could see people all over.
So I realy recomend Mamaia, after 1st of may, and til the sesson is finished, probably in begining of september.

I was also at a fish restaurant in Constanta close to the sea that some people recomended me, the name was On Plonge, but for me this was not so good. I orded a seafood salat, and got som shrimps and crab stick in mayonaise, not good at all, then I asked the waiter (who did not speak English) what she recomended for main course, and I got some grilled fish that tasted like shi.... you know what I mean, The half bottle of Romanian wine was good, and the pluss was that the price for al this was only around 12 dollars, so if you go there, bring a romanian, so you know what to order.
