asian karaoke is no where near as nerve-wracking as american karaoke. instead of singing in front of a large room full of people you don't know, you are in a small room with people you do know. it was like sitting in a large booth watching tv and singing songs together. no one ordered alcohol and it was quite fun! i went to sleep around 2:30.
this morning the cleaning lady knocked on our door around 10:30. i somehow communicated that we were still sleeping and got back in bed. allison called me around noon and we talked for an hour which was awesome :) even though i don't usually talk on the phone much. today we went to the olympic green and saw the birds nest and the water cube. it costs money to get in the birds nest and the water cube was closed so all we did was walk around outside and take pictures. it was sunny today for the first time in over a week, but with the sun came even more heat. we got more stares and people taking pictures of/with us today too.
then we went on a hunt for this american restaurant called sizzler. we walked around for a long time through what looked like legit neighborhoods with apartment buildings and kids running around. we asked around and no one knew where the restaurant was. eventually we found it! it was american food heaven!!!! there was a department store and in it was the following: sizzler, pizza hut, mcdonalds, dairy queen, and STARBUCKS!!! i took pictures. and ordered a venti caramel coffee frap. ahhh heaven. they actually had a huge salad bar at sizzler and it was amazing. their meat is imported, and it tasted really good. they were also playing american music! so we listened to hillary duff and jason mraz as we ate. it was a good food day :)
