KTV: Kroaking Too Violently (aka Karaoke)

Have you ever heard of KTV???  It's HUGE in China.  I mean Mega, Ultra, super HUGE!!!  

And I think it's a wee bit…ummm…interesting.  

KTV stands for Karaoke Television.  Surely, you've heard of karaoke, right?  Even I've heard of it!!!  Have I ever tried it??? Nooooooo.  But, there's a first for everything, right?????

And so I've also read that Karaoke jokingly means tone deaf in Japanese. 

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!  

That sounds about right!!!!  (especially when it's me screaming singing the lyrics)

 Sounds like a fantastic way to spend a date night…right?  Well, it is a fun way to spend the evening especially when you're in the company of Chinese friends (Mark's coworkers) who are willing to show you how it's done.  Hee. Hee.  

This is the entrance to the KTV center:

Whoa. Holy Schmoly. It's like signing into a giant hotel. They take KTV very seriously here.

Stairs. Bright Lights. Oh my. Such bright lights!

Egads! 

Rooms and rooms and more rooms ….all just for KTV. Sounds like a weird science fiction story. Ah! It reminds me of Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451". People needing to lose themselves in a completely different world or alternative reality.

A giggling Lynn!

Mark giving his best….

Actually, Mark can sing. I, sadly, cannot. I can yell though!!!!

Our room came with this lovely fruit dish, several cans of beer, a bag of microwave popcorn and a few other snacky type foods.

And the freakiest video of the evening goes to:

Creepy lady with too much make-up repeating herself over and over again. Very freaky!

Oh my!  What silly good fun belting words to tunes can be!  Who knew it could be such fun?????  We had a fun selection of Chinese and American songs- some of them I've even heard before.  LOL!  Pop music isn't exactly my thing.  ;-)

Hope you had just as much fun as we did!  Thanks for joining!  Next time, why don't you pick out songs you want to sing….. I dare you to join in the fun and SING!
