KTV

Williams, Kevyn, me, Megan after KTVing it up on a Friday night

KTV (karaoke, Taiwan-style) is a very important part of the Taiwanese
experience. I've been a few times now. You go to a KTV place, and rent your own private room (complete with couches, a TV, and a couple of microphones) for four hours or so. You get to select all the songs you want to do, and sing your heart and soul out for hours on end. It's great fun. They even provide refreshments as part of the experience. The Taiwanese tend to be more conservative, and often choose slower songs. Kevyn remarked to us, "You guys always choose the fast songs that you can dance to, and we always choose the ballads." :) There are definitely some cool things in Taiwan that I think we could use in the States, and KTV is one of them. Love it. :)
