Karaoke!
Okay, so I was never really a fan of karaoke because I don't have the
voice to sing that well and I don't want others to suffer that much
listening to me try to sing. I have heard too many people think they can
sing that really can't...
But here in Thailand, they love karaoke. Even the smallest roadside
restaurant here will have a stand-alone coin operated karaoke system. And
a lot of them are actually pretty good singers too so its not that bad to
listen to them.
Anyhow, since they love karaoke here so much you can go to a karaoke bar
and rent out a room for you and your friends. Its kinda nice because then
you and your friends can just scream along and have a good time.
It was good that they did have a fairly long list of english songs, but
unfortunately they were all slow sappy love songs which isn't that fun
with a group of 25 people. They didn't have much of a good rock or rap
selection. They did have "No Women, No Cry", "Its My Life", and "With or
Without You" which was pretty cool, and I was quite happy to sing along to
"Hotel California" as well which they all dedicated to me. But the rest of
their selection was pretty bad. Oh well, we had fun anyhow. That place
closed at 1 so we went to the backpacker street with all the other farangs
(foreigners) to a bar that is open 24 hours (quite convenient!) called
Silk Bar.
Anyhow, that was much more fun than I expected. I almost decided to just
go home and not go out last night, but I am quite glad I did not.
I will post the pictures by the end of this upcoming weeked so check them
out for a good laugh. I did take a couple videos but I won't be putting
them online... and you really don't want to hear us...
