Team DD

I don’t know which of the following is more disturbing. One, that following the big “let’s kick off the new school year with 3 hours of booze” enkai the teachers turned, en masse, to Dave and I and asked, “Okay team DD, where is the nearest bar.” Two, that after a mere thirty seconds consideration, we were able to think of a bar capable of seating 30 people, no mean feat in Japan, within five minutes walking distance of the huge hotel in which the enkai had been held. Or that three, upon rocking up at said bar, the bartender remembered me, even though the last time I’d been there was about two years ago. It was significantly quieter this time around, no live Jazz and, sadly, no tiny vocal bombshells either. There were plenty of sofas, however, and an extensive menu and this was a good thing. Now I just have to wait until Monday and see how the Enkai “reset switch” comes into play. More about that another day.
