Wow, I have not written for a long time. Much has happened since my last post. I have been to Thailand and had my school schedule change a lot. I think part of why I find it difficult to post is that I think I have to write some long post, but I've realized I can write short entries--that's better than nothing at all right?
So now I will write a short entry about my experience at a nore-bong.
What is a nore-bong you may ask?
Well it is much like what we in the United States call karaoke.
After eating some delicious pizza with my friends Beth, Kristi, and Cho we decided to go to a nore-bong. We walk to a building, take the elevator, and get out on the nore-bong floor. We rent a nore-bong room for one hour for about 20 dollars. The four of us take our shoes off and go into this long, narrow room. There is a large TV at one end and couches on the other. In the room are also two microphones, two tambourines, and a song book. We simply choose a song, hit play, and sing along! On the TV the words appear with music videos playing in the background. But the music videos do not coincide with the songs we chose, the videos are random korean videos. At times this is hilarious.
I was quite comfortable at the nore-bong because I was with friends I felt comfortable being silly around! I think if there were many more people or people I didn't know as well I wouldn't have had as much fun or have gotten into it so much. But I got really into it and had a blast! I danced around the room singing most of the songs. Most of the songs we chose were American songs. Cho sang us a couple Korean songs. I can think of some of my friends in the States who would love it, especially people from my small group :)
So yeah, I had a really fun time. I will look back on the experience with fondness.
In case your curious here are some of the songs I remember singing:
I Believe I Can Fly--R. Kelly
Lose Yourself--Eminem
Poker Face--Lady Gaga
Let it Be--Beatles
Piano Man--Billy Joel
Bye Bye Bye--Nsync
Lovey Dovey--T-ara
Gold Digger--Kayne West
Forget you--Cee Loo Green
