Today’s story きょうの あらすじ

Today I have been eating Thai food since morning. Of course I have — I am in Thailand — but how delicious Thai food is! It is nothing like the Thai food I eat in Japan; this is the authentic taste, and my heart has been filled with delicious happiness all day. It is my first time in Thailand in about a year and a half, and I had completely forgotten how good it tastes. For lunch today I had duck noodles — ramen with duck meat — and satay, grilled pork on skewers. I have only just finished lunch and I am full, and yet I am already looking forward to wondering what tonight's dinner will be.
