Karaoke.

China, what an interesting place. We were taken out for a little Karaoke fun after a long days work. I had heard about these places but until you experience it.... So anyhow I arrive late after putting in extra hours. It was recommended that I go or the host would be very disappointed. OK, so I show up to this private Karaoke room where our host is drunk out of his mind and my colleagues are surrounded by women. One of them looking happy and one looking checked out. Within seconds of my arrival a lineup of women is brought into the room and I'm asked to choose a girl. I decline. I'm asked again "Go on choose a girl, just someone to sit with." this is business in China. What the F! This girl sits next to me and I pretty much sit still staring blankly into space constantly thinking "when are we going to leave this awful place, should I try and manage a cab in this crazy town, this is not my idea of fun." Meanwhile every ten minutes the host is saying to me "first time in China, live it up, drink up, I hook you up." Who is this fool. Finally after about an hour we leave. Thank God. The more I look back on it the more I question how did I get myself into that position and how do I get out of it if I'm ever caught in a position like that again. I think initially I was very curious as to what this Chinese version of Karaoke was all about but after a few moments I had had my curiosity satisfied. No need to ever do that again. Friggin gross!!
