A hurricane has passed Tokyo
over the night
so the sky today was
just so gorgeous.
Not only that but it was really warm
compared to the cold and wet yesterday.
Evan and I went to pick up our
Thai visas...
and here they are!
Tada!
After picking up the visas,
we were planning on going to see
a museum exhibit on Art Nouveau
but reckless somebody (me) couldn't find
the tickets we bought.
So instead, we decided to go to
the Japanese Folk Crafts Museum(日本民藝館）
in Komaba.
It was nice that I got to walk around my high school.
The museum was really nice.
Some of the things, from Edo period and older,
weren't even in a glass case
and that definitely made those things speak to you differently.
It's not about being able to touch or anything
(though I could have, if I wanted to be scolded)
but it made everything feel a lot closer and real.
After spending some time at the museum
we walked to Shimokitazawa.
I love going to Shimokitazawa
on the week days when most people are at work.
It's such a relaxing place
and I hope it keeps its place that way
...though I could feel that it has changed a lot
compared to my high school days.
We had dinner with Wakana.
She took us to this really fun Showa-period-themed place.
The food was good and I LOVED the decor.
The music was lovely too.
Thanks thanks thanks
so so so
much
WAKANA!!!!
...for taking us there.
(You really better come visit us in Thailand.)
I found a magic star in my cocktail.
Yipeeee.
Wakana looks like a super woman
...I mean, she is.

P.S.
After looking through pretty much everything
I did find the tickets to the museum,
so don't you worry.
sheeesh, I better watch out though,
I'm way too reckless.
(I found it in a trash can.)
