#56 Karaoke Birthday

Juliana turned 9 years old last week. Kathleen arranged her dream request for a girl-only Karaoke dance party. Kathleen should really write this story about arranging for a two-hour karaoke room with a non-English speaking concierge at the "Fruit-TV Karaoke House."

In the U.S., Karaoke is the subject of Adam Sadler movies and other such lampooning, but in China, Karaoke is serious business. Every self-respecting entertainment district or business hotel in China will be close to a collection of Karaoke bars or have their own in-house operation. I have been to a few myself, but usually only after having enough Baijiu to make the recollections vague.

By all accounts, Juliana and her girlfriends had a great time. Featured in the photos along with the birthday are friends Jemma, Kaya, Cori, Makenzie, and Alli.
