The stereotype is true: Asians
love some karaoke.
This week, in honor of our last week of break, we had a girls' night with some pretty great ladies. The night started with dinner at Black Canyon Coffee, which is actually famous for their coffee and cappucino art, but they have some good food as well. And then it was karaoke time.
Karaoke here is a lot different than (what I imagine it to be) in the States. You reserve a room for just you and your friends, and there's a system in each room with a little computer set in the table for you to pick your favorite song to belt out in front of your friends. The words come up on the TV in the front (sometimes with correct lyrics, sometimes not). We went to a place called Happy Puppy (yep, that's right), and each room had a theme. We were in the underwater/submarine room. With the lights dimmed, black lights on, and the music loud, it was the perfect set up to let the inner rockstar come out.
Also, I'd just like to share - Dr. Pepper has been spotted in southeast Asia. We've heard it only happens once in a blue moon, so today, when we got a text from one of the awesome women here saying the local grocery store had it (THANK YOU), we made a stop on our way home and stocked up. Thank you, Father! What a great gift!
