On a splendidly balmy day, I headed to Rome’s latest gem–the Bulgari Hotel Roma. A longtime friend, Elena Bruno who heads the hotel’s marketing, invited me for a ladies’ lunch on the fifth floor terrace.

In the heart of Tokyo for 36 hours, I embarked on a creative adventure of my own design. With limited time, there were only so many places I could physically see and absorb.
