Mr. Jack: Karaoke All-Star, First Team

Mr. Jack, A.K.A. my counterpart A.K.A English teacher at my school A.K.A. my right-hand-man, is a karaoke All-Star. He loves singing more than anything. At any point in time you could catch him belting Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On or perhaps Aerosmith's Don't Wanna Miss A Thing. 

After weeks of conjuring up a plan, he finally took me to karaoke with some of his former students who are currently studying at Sriwijaya University. Basically, in lieu of a drinking scene in the large city of Palembang, there is a massive and fantastic karaoke scene. At Palembang Square, a huge mall in town, groups can go to one of many karaoke spots to rent a room for the purpose of belting some Indonesian/classic tunes. Those not blessed like Mr. Jack, whose vocal cords vibrate like the strings of Apollo's harp, can simply rock out with the group and enjoy a nice iced tea.The room is equipped with a television, an extensive song-list, a powerful speaker system, and a theme. Our room was themed Hawaii.

In case you haven't met him yet, here is a picture of Mr. Jack and I at BKB:

Here are some pics from karaoke:

AND NOW, for the grand finally, here are two links to some videos I took. Enjoy:
