Today’s story きょうの あらすじ

Now that I think of it, while I was away on my business trip in Thailand the day of my hospital appointment came round. It is only to have my medicine prescribed, so I am able to take it online. The appointment was at half past eight in the morning, which is half past six by Thai time. That is exactly the hour when I am always walking at the hotel gym. So I walked as usual and waited for my appointment time. When the time came, I broke off my walk and connected with my doctor in Japan on my phone. The consultation ended without any trouble, and when I got back to Japan the prescription had duly arrived in the postbox at home. To be able to see my own doctor no matter where in the world I am. Things really have become convenient.
