Appreciating Art All Night Long?

I missed this event the last time I was in Japan,
so I was glad to have made it this time.

My first destination: The National Art Center

During the Roppongi Art Night,
most participating venues are free to enter and stay open later than usual,
and there are shows and events throughout the day + night.

Just for one night.

When I arrived, it was rather warm.
But a couple days later, it'd become cooler.

Because I was gonna stay out all night in Roppongi,
I came fully equipped.

Foldable down jacket, big camera, scarf,
iPad mini, various adapters and chargers, etc.
My bag was so heavy...

I also enjoyed edible art

Jet-lagged and walking non-stop, I needed this break.

It was nice to catch up with an old friend.
Schedule conflict prevented our annual get-together trip,
but I'm glad that I got to see her.

Thanks to this unpredictable, bizarre weather,
the night was blessed with the cherry blossoms.

Soon, it was past 8.
I was quickly loosing steam and needed to refuel.

No, not with whiskey.

But with some Italian food.

A bit of this and a bit of that.

Pizza Margherita.

Carb 1.

Spaghetti Bolognese.

Carb 2.

Ice cream.

Carb 3.

By the end of the meal,
I was ready to go home.

My boots were killing my feet and I was about to fall asleep.
Like any sensible person, I took the train and went home

I'm not young anymore, am I!?

Being in Roppongi reminded me of the time I used to work here.
That was more than 10 years ago.

How time flies!!!
