just sing

I saw some amazing sights in China. But the best times were had when we were hanging out with our Chinese friends. And one of the most fun nights was when went to a KTV. What is KTV? It is karaoke. Chinese style. And it makes any American Karaoke bar with individuals who are a little tipsy and can’t sing a tune seem pretty lame.

At KTV you get a private room with an amazing sound system, lights, and food, that is just big enough for you and your friends. There are hundreds of songs for you to choose from, Chinese and English. And you can sing by yourself or with all your friends.  Mostly, we sang in English. And mostly, we sang together.

This was one of those nights that I will never forget. We had so much fun together. We learned more about the Chinese culture and grew to love it even more. And they learned more about us.  Music has a way of bringing people together. All cultures around the world have it. So all world leaders that are at odds should just sit down and sing together because KTV is another one of those activities that would solve all world conflicts.
