They make them happy. I know. I like to get drunk too. It\u2019s a bit hard when you don\u2019t like beer, but gladly they had Smirnoff ice, which I like. I drank two bottles, and I could have drunk more, but I didn\u2019t for an unknown reason. Those two were enough for me.<br \/>\nAt first I didn\u2019t really know what I\u2019m going to do in the KTV, after all it\u2019s a Karaoke pub. But part of the fact that there was a TV there, and almost everybody sang songs, well, some sang songs. Bob and Nelson for instance didn\u2019t. Well, Nelson was busy drinking SO MUCH, (he likes to drink) and Bob came with his wife Phoebe, and we talked a lot, and he DID sing one song, some old Chinese song, well not old. It looked like something Arik Einstien or Shlomo Artzi song.<br \/>\nI actually had real fun there, since it\u2019s something like a private pub, where you hang with your friends, and eat (they had very good dumplings there), and drink, have fun, and &#8230; well&#8230; sing. Of which I don\u2019t fully understand the singing part, but a. when you\u2019re drunk \u2013 you\u2019d do anything. B. they apparently need some to go to a private pub and get drunk. While singing.<br \/>\nThey did insist I sing something, and the only thing on the English song list was \u201cI Will Survive\u201d, which I was actually willing to sing, since I know most of the word to. I don\u2019t like singing, but I got a lot of applauding, and cheering. So even though it was a bit embarrassing, it was ok. But 1 song was enough for me. I was concentrating (like some other) on the other parts of the thing, food, drinks, conversation. The shouting in a pub conversation type, where the other side only knows so little English because they\u2019re Chinese and doesn\u2019t understand what you\u2019re saying anyway. But it was fun.<br \/>\nI managed to take some <a href=\"http:\/\/yosi-pcl.eng.tau.ac.il\/oded\/gallery\/Taiwan-09-02-04\">good photos<\/a> of drunken Sanctum people, and they pretty much captured the whole spirit of the evening.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: If this post didn\u2019t actually had any point, or wasn\u2019t clear or was messed up, it\u2019s because I\u2019m still under the influence of alcohol. As little as it was.
