Despite having loads of schoolwork to do, I went to karaoke yesterday for the first time in Hong Kong! We celebrated the basketball team captain's birthday, Da.
Group pictures!
Compared to Southern California's Korean-owned places, this place was MAGICAL. And affordable. Let me break it down.
For HK$85 (equivalent to US$10.91) each person:
- we stayed the 7 hours for the "happy hour" time period (1PM - 8PM),
- we stayed in a room about 10mx50m big,
- the room had 4 wireless microphones,
- the room had it's own bathroom,
- the songs actually matched the videos playing in the background,
- we each got 3 free beverages,
- one free small appetizer, called a tea set, before 5pm,
- and they even helped us sing a surprise "happy birthday" to the birthday girl.
- for an extra HK$40 (US$5.14) per person, you could also eat a buffet style meal...
For my friends in HK, I'll put it in perspective for you. In Southern California,
- the room is a flat rate per hour usually around US$30~40 per hour,
- so the more people you go with, the cheaper it'll be,
- and for most places, you don't get anything special...
- except you can borrow funky wigs.
- and.. the content of the videos playing in the background are nearly always scenes from an Asian drama resulting in happy songs appearing very sad.
Some craziness ensues. Dunno what's going on here.
