It's not that long since our last foray out for the evening, but we splashed out and asked Erna to babysit again. Our choice this time was Bagus bar in Akasaka. Nick had been there recently after work with colleagues and wanted to revisit as they have dart boards and a pool table. I was a little unsure about it as the boards are electronic, but actually it was good fun. It was somewhat frustrating that we could only have 10 rounds of three darts each per game though, as we soon found that that was not enough to get down from 501; we switched to 301 but as the system allowed you to go out without doubling we realised that we were not getting very good value for money, at about 1.50 per game. After some mediocre and pricey grub we moved on to the pool table. I was confident at first, as I had done quite well at the darts, but Nick's eye was in and he beat me in all three games. It was good to wield a cue again though. Now I have a fancy to go ten pin bowling, but we need other people to make it a fun evening. If we move back to London it could be a long time before we settle and find a babysitter we trust, so I want to make the most of Erna while we can.
