Pass the Mic

In the day time it's just a quiet half mile of street around the corner from our house. In the evening it's karaoke corner. 26 different karaoke bars, none of which seem to be able to carry a tune. 26 different versions of the Cranberries, Zombie to lull me off to sleep until about midnight or 1:00am.

Karaoke is extremely popular in this part of the world. In Phnom Phen, Cambodia, people have even been known to get shot over who gets the microphone next. Here they just unplug the machine if they don't like your song.

Upon further inspection, I found that if you turn left and go up the street the other way, there are another 8 karaoke bars!? Make that 34 versions of Zombie!

Smells like they cook up some good grub though...
