15 Things we learned at all-night karaoke this weekend
By Jesse, Brookie, Matt Ho and yours truely.

1. Drunk people are difficult.
2. Nomihodai (all you can drink places) are bad for foreigners.
3. In Japan, karaoke is an art form. Hell, they invented it.
4. 27 people (gaijin and nihonjin mixed) = hell on earth
5. Japanese names are hard to read in kanji. Do not expect your cell phone address book to ameliorate this fact.
6. The Doraemon song is a lot of fun.
7. Singing the YMCA song once is fun. Singing it twice is just silly.
8. Warning: if you try to sing like Kurt Cobain your voice will hurt tomorrow morning.
9. Chinese students like to sing Chinese songs.
10. When Jesse is angry he hits his head on things. Hard.
11. If you order one iced tea, they will probably bring two.
12. After several hours of song, sweat and spills, you should consider spending some time in the hall.
13. Japanese compliments are weird.
14. The best thing in the world is melon bread at 7 am.
15. If you make plans to go shopping with people the next morning, you will sleep through your alarm.
