Here is a cultural experience that might be used as a reward trip not necessarily an academic trip. In the United States when most people go out for Karaoke they are imagining a bar and a microphone where you will have to sing to a large crowd and embarrass yourself mercilessly (which might explain why so much alcohol is involved...to dull the pain). But in Korea, Japan, Taiwan and China Karaoke is done in Noraebang which are private rooms where you can gather with your friends, sing at the top of your lungs while getting drunk privately.Well I am not condoning getting your students to drink but I am suggesting that the Noraebang is a great way in which you could host a private Karaoke party as a class. The reason why this would be less academic is because any Korean/Japanese/Chinese song on the machine would be indecipherable for students so they will need to be singing in English. So this trip would be mainly a parade of top 40 hits sung by your students at the top of their lungs. Sounds great!
You can generally order appetizers and at FM in Rockville you will have a hip menu which can heighten the cultural experience. Notice that the picture in this posting is taken from a Chinese language newspaper. There we go again. I have no business reading this thing but low and behold I am able to figure out that this is not only an add for Karaoke but also coupled with a 10% discount! Rock On!
This place is not too far from the Twinbrook Metro station and therefore only a stop south of where the dueling Chinese supermarkets are of Rockville. Why not cap the supermarket day off with a chorus sing along at FM Karaoke?
