Robinson Sakon Nakhon Grand Opening

Organized Kaos

Picture by Dan

Traffic going to the opening day at Robinsons can only be described as organized KAOS.
We lucked out as we arrived they opened another parking area and we were the first in line.
It helped for a quick departure.
As anticipated, the first thing I had was a pretzel. My purchases included soft cheeses and kaviar.

There were enough free samples to make a meal of it.

After an hour of shopping and mingling I decided I had enough.  I'll return on a quieter day

New Facebook page Sakon Nakhon / Update has plenty of pictures of the grand opening, including pictures of the traffic jam.
I'll avoid that road for a few more days



Sakon FC hosts Amnatcharoen this Sunday

Sakon Nakhon FC hosts Amnat Charoen this Sunday.
Ordinarily I would say this should be an easy win for Sakon FC, but their recent performances, 5-1 loss to Chaiyaphum at home and 3-1 loss at Nongbualamphu make me truly wonder if they are out of their slump.

Sakon FC last faced Amnat FC on their field in May and walked away with a 4-1 win

Expect the weather to be dry, hot and humid in time for the game

Dengue Survivor

The most obvious after effects of dengue, now that I am over a week of it, is total weakness.
Went for a three block walk this evening and had to take a few rest stops along the way.

Laying around for a week, mostly sleeping, it's obvious that I have to spend some time regaining some strength.

Of course I'll be heading to Robinson's in the morning with friends.  I won't be driving.
It being opening day, I can immagine the place will be quite hectic.
Probably will spend most of my time at Top's.

Later in the day I'll have to catch up on a week's worth of grocery and  cleaning supply shopping.  I'll take some helpers along to make sure I wont run low on energy.

Looking for a dry spot in the sky


There's a motorcyclist in Udon looking for a dry spell to drive his motorbike home to Sakon Nakhon.
Not going to happen today

Apple's (Dans) will be closed till Monday


I'm taking a few days off from the blog while I recover from Dengue.
After ten years the odds finally caught up with me.
After the first day of high temperatures I suspected dengue.
On the second day I went to the hospital where a quick test confirmed my suspicions.
Thursday
