Last night we went to Japan


Well, it seemed like Japan!

We had a karaoke night at a genuine Japanese karaoke joint in the Japanese quarter here in Paris. We've made some new friends who lived in Japan for a couple of years. They already had a tip on this location courtesy of some salary men that they had questioned on a previous outing. After meeting up at the Opera, we headed over to what appeared to be a restaurant, and were immediately taken down to the cellar and shown into out private karaoke room.


It was nothing glamorous, but what it lacked in glamour it made up for in authenticity. The song books were the real Japanese ones, and the machine showed all the Japanese translations along with the English words.


Our friendly host brought us ice cold Kirin beers, and we basically sang out hearts out for three solid hours. It was fantastic.
