karaoke...nielsen style

of course we had to take ryan's parents to karaoke while they visited us here.  it wouldn't be the full korean experience if we hadn't.  karaoke rooms are everywhere here.  we can stand on the corner of our street and see 6 karaoke bars within 200 yards.  and nothing beats karaoke in korea.  you get your own room, you can sing as many songs as you want, you can stop singing in mid-song if you aren't feeling it, and you can put on the best performance while using props such as tambourines, all the while dancing around on the chairs and tables.

in the above duet we sang "hero" by enrique iglesias, ryan and i were so captivated and moved by the lyrics and our love for one another, that we nearly ended up passed out on the couch by the end of the song.

kim and gayle put on a wonderful performance, slow dancing with each other while singing their duet to "can smile without you" by barry manilow. kim even sang a solo song, "play that funky music white boy".  as he approached the front stage, he turned his hat around backwards and popped his colar.   we ended the night with a quartet, "september" by earth, wind and fire.

ryan and i were very proud of both of them.
