When you wander down to the the open air market to see the jugglers, snake charmers and, um, the dentist, that’s when you know you’re not in Kansas anymore.

How long will it take to get a crown, Doc? Five minutes, huh? Why the long wait? Hey, you’re not the only dentist at this carnival!

One comment so far

Those, ahem, street dentists are strangely fascinating. But I have to tell you, living in Marrakech, that the “professional” dentists are a rather sorry lot, too.
