Wasn't that a party? Your karaoke stories!

Karaoke is (or was) the traditional ending to almost every banquet, dinner out, or gathering in China. The other teachers and I didn't drink when we were there, but I saw how things loosened up after one or many bottles of Qingdao beer. It was an educational experience.

For some reason, the Carpenters are very popular there, and so most of the karaoke involved their songs. I duly got up and sang "Yesterday Once More", which thankfully I already knew the words to and it's a song without great changes in key and range. My students were satisfied, even impressed. Maybe it's a rite of passage.
