This is the Mardan Palace in Antalya, Turkey. Reviewed recently in the Sunday Times, it is a real love-it or hate-it hotel.
The Mardan cost a reported £1 billion to build and promises a return to the opulent, golden age of the Ottoman Empire. Set to open in June, the hotel is divided into an elaborate Ottoman wing and a more contemporary European wing.
With gondolas and restaurants in giant aquariums, it looks like the Mardan has taken a (golden) leaf out of Vegas and Dubai luxury hotels. It might be way OTT, but I think I could turn a blind eye long enough to enjoy a couple of nights here.
What do you think - hotel heaven or hell?

It doesn't matter. They spent 1 billion for hotel. It's behind the borders of evil or good. I personally would prefer to stay not in museum but among living people .

Sorry to be off topic, but I like your posts and I wanted some feedback for my blog. I have a hard time writing, but I do want to share my experiences. Am I stuck between a rock and a hard place? Or should I just do it?

Im glad that I had the fortune to stumble across your blog. Its undoubtedly an critical problem that not sufficient people are talking about and Im glad that I got the chance to see all the angles.

Is anybody strong in radio here? We need a colleague who would tell us briefly about the transistor T2. I hope there are radio amateurs here. If it`s not on the subject at all, then I`m sorry. I have to write because I have no choice. PS: if the spelling is not right then also I'm sorry, I'm just 13 years old!...
