While waiting for the "111 GIRLS" screening at Filmex last night, I decided to take a walk and kill some time.

Nearby was the Tokyo International Forum building, which I haven't stepped in for four years. I thought it would snap some photos of the place.

4 years ago, I thought it looked like a spaceship. Last night, I still feel the same.

The fact that it was nighttime helped accentuate the sci-fi look of the place.
There was a fashion exhibition going on in the building.

Outside TIF, the place is swallowed entirely by autumn colours.

Sad that I can only start to enjoy the autumn scenery only when it is about to end.

On a July 2008 blog post, I wrote this:
"I particularly liked the Tokyo International Forum. Its interior looked like something from a science fiction novel. The inside of a space ship, or an alien colony."
