Warm beer is healthy , I read ... 

Sweet popcorn? You should try sweetened peanuts in shell ...

Haha KTV places...

So many times, after a night in a restaurant with friends the Chinese girls would make the KTV call, so we'd relocate.

The decor is almost always tacky, the beer is warm and usually fake, you get a plate of fruit (with tomatoes), a bowl of popcorn and a bowl of sunflower seeds, there are always some fat shirtless guys in the next room chain smoking. The girls get right into singing the soppy love songs, the guys drink warm beer and flirt with the girls, I've had many a crazy night learning Chinese drinking games with workmates you didn't know even drank... good times.

That's French ... fruit with tomatinas ...

I'd say, I've never been to KTV 'cause I was almost always the only foreigner in the city.

In Fuk, where I was in company of Oz and USA teacher, they didn't have KTV. There wasn't one in Wulumuqi, either. 

Wulumuqi is Chinese name for the capital of Xinjiang Urumqi.

I guess, KTV might be prohibited or sumtin' in Xinjiang.

Chinese had never mention anything about the joint.

I ain't fan of the singing anyhow, so that maybe was also the reason for ignoring it.

I hate singing and get annoyed when people try to push me to sing, had some good times hanging out and letting the pop sensation wannabes do their thing though.

Stiggs:

I wonder if they remember who invented KTV

nzteacher80:

5,000 years of KTV
