Fun Weekend!

So I must say that since I've been in South Korea, I had one of the most unusual experiences this weekend. Friday night, a group of us went out to dinner then met up with other friends at a bar we go to a lot in Bundang. I've heard a lot about Karaoke places here...it's pretty popular. They are called nori bongs, and I imagined them to be similar to Karaoke places in the US where you put your name on a list and get up on stage and sing. This, I would never do...considering my singing skills and the fact that I would get boo-ed off the stage. Anyways, a bunch of my friends wanted to go to a nori bong and I was excited for my first karaoke experience. As it turns out, nori bongs have small private rooms that you go in with just your friends. There are screens that show the lyrics of songs and some kind of device that keeps track of how on you are with the music. It was something i've never seen before and so much fun! We all sang...usually in groups, and the microphones and small space made everything sound not so bad. Just a little interesting bit about South Korea!
