EARLIER NOTES FROM DR. MOLAK'S TRIP:

04/22/2009:

Just had my dental examination. The dentist did his postgraduate work in dentistry in Ann Arbor and Columbus...so he knows all about Fisher School of Business and living in Columbus, Ohio. He did a very thorough dental exam and found that I need 3 root canals done and two crowns, one tooth extracted (just as my American dentist recommended). At 5 :30 today, I am seeing his wife who specializes in oral surgery and root canal work. Also, 7 fillings need to be polished and I will have cleanup and whitening of teeth.

Total cost of 2 crowns, three root canals, X-rays (he took one and his wife may take another), cleanup and whitening of teeth...about $180. It will all be done within a week...it is two minutes walk to their dental office, where he and his wife practice dental surgery and care. The guy looks like Yelena's age or younger. Now I am working on business stuff with India and Nepal. Servants are taking care of all my needs...fabulous food and service. I feel like a princess in Shangri-la;-)! My Nepalese friends are waiting for me with the money they owe me ;-)! so Kaniz will lose her bet with me, regarding the re-payment of my money!

Yes...so far having great time...meeting people in airplanes and in-between flights. One Nepalese import/export person, who has a cotton clothes shop in Kathmandu, will make me 3 dresses that I designed on the plane, and may join us trekking in Annapurna.

My friend the retired MIG pilot picked me up at the airport and tomorrow I am seeing a dentist at 10 am Indian time (which is 10 hours ahead of American EST). Everything is working like a charm...

I will write more tomorrow...

With warm regards (it is 33 degrees Celsius here),

Vlasta

P.S. On the road from the airport I had great lassi.
