My first noraebang (singing room)

I finally got a chance to go to a noraebang (no-ray-bahng), or singing room. It's similar to karaoke, except that instead of singing in a bar publicly, you rent a room with friends by the hour, and sing in a more intimate setting. There are several huge books of songs (Korean and Western), and you can choose what you want to sing, complete with lyrics on big screens and microphones, and even tamberines and maracas for backup music. Some allow you to bring in alcohol (or they serve it), and most people only go to sing when they're drunk enough not to be afraid of making fools of themselves.



I usually go with Jazmin and Sergio, and we're more into the singing than the drinking. (We know how to have a lot of fun sober! The best kind of friends, imo.) During this first adventure, we even had backup singers!
