Bangkok Street Food

Addie's Thai restaurant in Earls Court serves some delicious Thai food.

I had a tasty Thai iced tea with condensed milk called a milky way and tried some of my friends' food too.

Karaoke

This was my very first visit to a proper karaoke bar and I was a bit nervous as I have not been blessed with a singing voice.

However, I was surprised how much fun I had.  I think it helped that none of us were particularly good singers and we put on a few silly songs such as Barbie Girl by Aqua and Macarena by Los del Mar.  I think the highlight of our session was Marco singing his very own adaptation of Stevie Wonder's 'Happy Birthday' for Kartik which had us all almost in tears (of laughter I should add).

The karaoke machine had songs in Japanese, Chinese, Korean and English.  We selected which song we wanted using the little stylus and lined them all up.

Hyper Japan

Hyper Japan is an exhibition at Kensington Olympia.  I managed to get a ticket on Living Social for £6 instead of the usual price of £12.

There was a lot to see including:
- a manga drawing demonstration.
- a talk on robotics.
- stalls selling clothes and accessories
- food stalls.
- free sake to taste.
- video games to play
- manga and anime books and posters
- hi tech Japanese toilets on display
