Karaoke as defined by the people who came up with it

So last night, jon received a text from his coworker, Claire inviting us to go to "KTV" with her and some friends.

"What is KTV, actually?"

"Karaoke.... National pastime of most Asian countries."

Well. We all know how I feel about letting people know how good I am at singing. HECK YES.


And then she said "Ok, I'll meet y'all at 1030 tomorrow morning."



Wait.... What?

Karaoke in the morning? Without the social lubricant that copious amounts of beer and/or vodka sours provides?

So we met Claire, Christine, Andy, and Amir at Kbox near Esplanade when it opened at 11am today.


In Asia, karaoke doesn't happen In a loud and raucous bar late in the evening, where everyone sounds better as the night wears on. In Asia, karaoke happens in private rooms, where only your friends can hear you. You're served food and beverages, and you can pick as many songs as you'd like, stop singing halfway through, change songs, order more drinks, carry on, cause a general ruckus, etc.













The pitcher is just iced lemon tea. Not beer.

We had so much fun!!!!! I think Jon definitely comes out of his karaoke shell more when he's not in front of general public. We finally got to meet some people, and now (I hope) there can be some new characters (besides stupid sasha) in this here blog.




- Cheers to America! Jon & Nikki
