for a while it was all over Germanys newspaper that people went to hungary
or spain on vacation and to see the dentist.
Seemed that partials and such were about 50% of the german costs.
However haven't heard much lately.
I guess, if you had trouble later, it wasn't easy to get the problems fixed.

Just a cycle. one day, we'll e a 3-world country and then we'll get the
jobs and labor again ;-)
