Karaoke

Hello everyone it is me again I had kind of a crazy weekend this weekend and I wanted to share part of it with everyone. I got a chance to do one of the most asain things there is this weekend we went and sang Karaoke last night. We where out celebrating my teachers birthday with her and some of here friends. In America going out and partying with one of your teachers is not something that is common but it China from what I understand it typical and perfectly Ok. With that being said it was again one of the most interesting places that i have been. I am not for sure if it was typical of all Karaoke bars in the states so i really have no frame of reference. It as on the top floor of a huge building and when you walk in there where people there to greet you and there was a huge snack bar there and it smelt like popcorn. It really did remind me of the lobby of movie theater. Then we went to our own room which could possible seat 10 people and we just sat in there and sang Karaoke for about 2 hours. The whole time we where in the room they kept bringing us drinks or whatever we waned and plates of fresh fruit like they seem to do at any Chinese bar. Now for those of you who know me know that I am not much of a singer but I had been drinking for a couple of hours before we got there so it did not matter in the end. They had a wide variety of American music so we where able to sing everything from Billy Joel to Johnny Cash. It was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. I hope I was able to give you all some idea of what this was like because it very popular in China and other Asian countries.

haha...Yes. Very popular in Asia. I remember when I was working in a Korean restaurant in Switzerland, local swiss guests always cannot understand why Korean guests always would like to sing karaoke after their meals...For westerners, if you are very professional enough you'd better not sing in public, however, I believe for every Asian customers there all had fun tons of fun...LOL
