Yesterday, I carried off my first ever surprise birthday kidnapping. I think the most surprising part of the adventure was our activity for the day - karaoke. It is a favorite past-time in Asia, but I think it was a first for many in our group of American ladies. It was also very interesting to note some striking differences in our cultural approaches to karaoke.
Asians - karaoke is very serious on the performance aspect with heartfelt solos and a love the microphone
Americans - we like belting out the tunes, but no one picked up the mic to save their lives. It was more like a group sing along.
But for all karaoke singers, there was the common exclamation of "I remember when this song came out . . ."
