Runar's Condition

While I would like to keep things jovial for the most part, it is not easy when the subject is a traffic accident. As some of you may already know, two weeks ago everybody’s favorite Norwegian, Runar, went off the road while trying to avoid another accident. It was around 3:00 a.m., and it is doubtful that Runar was in any condition to drive. He was taken to the Sappasithiprasong Hospital and treated in the intensive care unit. Some of us went to visit him that day, and I must say that Runar did not look good, but the people around him, most of whom seemed to be dying, looked worse. Runar was in traction and he could not move his left arm or leg. He was in a great deal of pain, too. A few days later he was taken to a hospital in Khon Kaen for more sophisticated tests. At first we’d heard that he’d broken his neck, but that turned out to be false. As I don’t know the medical term for his condition (I will let you know when I’m certain of it), I’ll just say that his neck is pretty badly messed up. He’s now got a private room at the Rajavej Ubon Hospital which is just before Big C on your left as you are going out of town towards Amnat Charoen on the main road. His room number is 304. From time to time I will be posting updates on his condition here. Also, if you would like to send him a message, you can email me and I’ll make sure he gets it.

Where have I been?

Where have I been, you may wonder. Well, I did make one trip to Japan, but it didn’t last 4 months. I was unconscious for about a week including and after my birthday party in May. At least I have got a few things done.

Wrong Way Café now has a fairly established menu. It can be viewed as a PDF here. We've also got new hours which "barely" call for a breakfast menu. Our new hours are 11:00 a.m. until midnight, except for Sundays when we try to close at 10:00 p.m.

In addition to the new menus, we’ve got some specials. Not many. So, the “pizza” on our sign is now, after a year, partially justified (they are “Mexican” pizzas which use 12-inch tortillas instead of ordinary pizza dough). The specials menu can be viewed as a PDF here.

My most recent creation is a brochure about Wrong Way Café and what we have to offer. The joviality may be in excess, but it summarizes us fairly well. To view it, follow this link to the Wrong Way Café section of our website, read the first paragraph, then follow the link in the first sentence of that paragraph.
