A favorite evening pastime in China is Karaoke. This is their drinking culture. We obviously didn't participate in this culture, but they do know how to do it. Our Chinese class paired up with the Intermediate I class and went out for an evening of karaoke. We had a private room with couches and a giant tv that showed the music videos and words to the songs. We started the night with "Beijing HuanYing Ni" which was the song for the Olympics and we all practiced it in class so we would be ready. After that we got dinner at the buffet and brought it back to the room. Emily barely finished her dinner before she was back at the mic. It was a great time. We sang Chinese pop songs and of course the traditional English karaoke songs. Living on a prayer, Can you feel the love tonight, Hey Jude... The list goes on for 3-hours so I will stop there. It was a great way to start the weekend and by far one of the better CIEE organized events!
