Cashbox

Today many plans were made and then changed on the fly. Finally the Typhoon has passed (holy crap, the rain lasted for 2 and a half days straight!) and so the weather is returning to blisteringly hot! Still, I prefer the latter to the senior! We first planned to go to the market but that soon changed as a group banded together and decided to go to the Cashbox (this is what they call their Karaoke Parlours!).

I was dreading it a bit, I don’t know about you but the idea of singing in front of a load of people can be a bit daunting but I though ‘what the hey!’. I was immediatly surprised by the size of the place and the fact that it looked like a 4 star hotel. There was about 2 floors each with roughly 15 rooms all of which were kitted out with some impressive karaoke equipment. I was still a little nervous (the plush interior hadn’t calmed me wnough just yet) and so I was surprised when everyone suddenly started to sing away without any care in the world. Then I remembered that Karaoke is sooooo huge over here that it’s just another thing people go out to do and that there was no reason to be worried, no one gave a monkeys if you sung well or not.

We had a lot of fun, was a shame they didn’t have that many good English songs but it was an experience I didn’t want to miss. Oh, and 5 pics to laugh at!! haha

Looking forward the trip to Hualien (probably the wrong spelling…) that we have had to reschedule to Thursday because of the Typhoon… good job we are coming back on the Friday as there is a slight chance of another Typhoon at the weekend! DOH!!!
