Karaoke

Ok, so last night my korean co-teacher and her husband took us out to dinner (This is Steph speaking). We went to a bar-ish place that is really close to the University in Bucheon that serves good food as well. They ordered a couple Korean dishes for us all to split and pitchers of beer. Here they drink a lot. When ever Koreans have a business deal they usually do it over drinks because they believe your true character comes out after you've been drinking. Anyway, we had a great time at dinner. They told us about their time in the US and some crazy things that happened to them over there (they lived there for a year and got back the same day that we came here).

Then they wanted to take us to Karaoke. Ok, so Karaoke is HUGE here. Pretty much every time Koreans go out in groups the night ends in Karaoke....after a lot of drinks. We heard some people through the walls and it wasn't pretty. But it is so fun! Everyone sings their heart out even if they are god awful. When we first came into the Karaoke place we heard some girl singing horrendously to an unintelligible song. It was a lot of fun and the Karaoke place was really nice! We walked in and I thought we'd got off on the wrong floor. I know there are a couple Asian style Karaoke places in Denver, but the one I've been to in Denver is not nearly as nice as this one and doesn't have nearly the number of songs. Almost every English song we could come up with was represented. It was sweet.

But the best part of the night was hanging out with my co-teacher and her husband. They are so nice and comfortable to be around. We laughed a lot too. It's interesting that even across cultures we found we had a lot of the same sense of humor. Perhaps it's because they lived in the states so they understand us a little better. They love Denny's, ha, because it's open all the time. I told them if they like breakfast food we've got some great places for them to try in FoCo when they come out to Denver.
