9am, Monday morning at the Doctors...

in Singapore, there would be a queue a mile long, but we're in Tokyo...

and it's completely empty. The whole trip to the doctor took less then half an hour, including examination time and getting meds from the pharmacy next door. The only downside is they don't validate parking.

By the way, since the Japanese seem to have an aversion to handling money, you pay the machine, not the nurse. It's alright, luckily it always seems to have the right change... and it thanks you too.

All quiet on the Tokyo front...

The Sashimi doesn't have much news to report. It's deathly quiet here in Tokyo, aside from the odd buzz on the street of Swine flu or a couple of minor demonstrations outside the Myanmar embassy... there's zip going on.

Must be the dog days of summer.

Oo, newsflash, one minor report, we'll be heading back to Singapore on the 24th of June, then Bangkok on the 7th of July and back to Tokyo by the 10th... and now, back to the dog days of summer.
