Nore-bang!
I really, really, really love this place. I think it’s almost impossible to not have a good time here.
Last night, after spending a few hours drinking soju bombs (건배!) we went to a nore-bang. In Korea, bang just means room. There’s loads of different bangs – PC bangs (for gamers), DVD bangs (with a screen, sofa and DVD player) and nore-bangs (literally “sing room”, a room with a karaoke machine and flashing lights). We snuck in some of our own drinks and settled down to a night of singing.
I’m not normally a huge fan of karaoke, my limited experience of it being in gay bars and the only people taking part are serious X Factor wannabes. Nore-bangs are fun though, because it’s a single room with friends, so you don’t have to worry too much about making an idiot of yourself. The soju helps too, of course…
