Last night I met some friends I haven't seen in awhile, we got pizza, and went to a karaoke room together. I've spent a good chunk of time in Korea but this was only my third time to such a room; which surprised my friends. I rarely listen to English language music and the songs I do know aren't available. I can't sing along to the Japanese songs I know due to my never learning Japanese. And the Korean songs I listen to have traditionally been too fast for me to read along with and sing out loud. I was pleasantly surprised to discover I can read and sing along a lot better than I could before. I think it helped hearing Bohemian Rhapsody sung a few days prior. Now I know how to change the pitch of the song, the speed, as well as how to skip the instrumental parts.
I was grabbing a few items this evening at the grocery store and stopped and stared for a few minutes as I watched an employee pulling live crabs out of cardboard boxes, packed with sawdust. Just like I used to see live lobsters with rubber bands on their claws at grocery stores in the States, I now watched rubber band-free crabs pulled to customer specifications and put into a plastic bag for purchase. I must admit it is true how they pull each other back down if one tries to escape.
