Norabong Nostalgia

Written December 28, 2010:

Night life in Korea innevitably involves a trip to a 놀래방, pronounced norabong. It's what Koreans call karaoke. You shell out 20,000-30,000 won and you get a private room for an hour with hundreds of songs in Korean or English with lights, mics, and beer. You bring a friend with a good voice and you can usually get an extra 10-15 minutes. Every time I've brought Corinne we've gotten 20.
