Karaoke Night!!!

One of the teacher's in my group, Skyla, had her birthday on Saturday! The Chinese teachers had a great idea to celebrate: We had a Karaoke night! So we went to the top floor of a hotel that was nearby. The place was totally decked out- shiny black walls and black floors with sparkly lights and glitter. Totally a Chinese karaoke studio. It was awesome!

 

My group (Chelsey, Becca, Lindsay, Teresa, Skyla, Laura and I) and also some of the Chinese teachers from the school (Annie, LuLu, Katie and her 5 yr old son Ryan, LuLu's husband and LuLu's friend David) all came. It was cool to have both groups there because we got to hear some cool (weird/funny) Chinese songs. Annie is a pretty good singer, and so she sang a lot of really neat songs for us. Also, LuLu's husband is a singer in a band, and he sang "You Are Not Alone" by Michael Jackson, and he did amazing! It was really fun.

 

The Chinese teachers wanted to hear a strange array of American music from us. They picked out a lot of Michael Jackson, which is great, and also a lot of old Avril Lavigne songs (like Sk8er Boi haha). We also got a few Brittney Spears songs (Lucky, Hit Me Baby One More Time) and some old Backstreet Boys songs. It was really funny to hear them all again. We surprised ourselves by knowing a lot of the lyrics still.

 

We had a BLAST. We sang and danced and goofed off and had birthday cake. It was GREAT! What a fun night!
