ktv party

drinking may not be popular in taiwan, but karaoke is huge. this is surprising, as the two seem to go so well together to the point of being inseparable in my books.

a co-teacher had to drop a class i taught with her and, to commemorate her departure, we went to a karaoke place (or KTV, as they are known in taiwan) with a handful of students for her leaving party.
