Noraebang

Last night was another Spanish meetup and some new people were there, which was really nice. We went to a restaurant in Sinchon that had separate conference style rooms that you can rent out, have some food, drinks and a meeting all at the same time. It was pretty kitschy, but fun. After dinner, a group of us headed to Hongdae for some dancing. On the way to the bar, Tinpin, we encountered a stand where a woman was selling cocktails in a bag. It was like a Capri Sun, but for adults and at 3,000W a pop, hard to pass up. After we hung out at Tinpin for a bit we decided to head to a noraebang. A noraebang is a karaoke room people can rent out with their friends and you can sing to your heart's content. They have a ton of songs in English, including recent hits and old ones too. I sang a lot of songs! Loren and I belted out, "Hey Jude," Megan and I sang "Goodbye Earl" and "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." I decided to solo on "Mmmbop" and "Don't Bring Me Down." It was so much fun! Afterward we hit up the street food where I tried tteokbokki for the first time, it was very spicy, but incredibly tasty.
