Where did you all wander off to after Juban Stand?
I didn't sing! i left at 1 am with squirrel, but you can join in the singing if you like next time.

To get there early is on time and showing up on time is late

To give an idea... do you remember this movie Goldfinger with James Bond? There was a Korean guy there killing people whit his hat... so we enter the place and we see a guy looking more less the same (well dressed differently).

I remember the film. The chap used his hat as a frisbee to chop the head off a marble statue 50 metres away.
'Take that as a warning, Mr. Bond' .... lol

The people there are very friendly, that is true.
Cyclone was the place, in fact it was the only joint I know in the area apart from another bar on Circular Road where this guy Hanley is the owner. Not a huge fan of karaoke bars overall, but this one is slightly different in that it doesn't drown the place with volume turned up to the max. Oh, and there is a pool table.

Yeah, that guy sure likes his singing. He's there on most days and when he's really in the mood he'll even pop out to some of the other bars for a quick song or two and then head straight back.

Harold Sakata, who wrestled as Tosh Togo and played Oddjob in Goldfinger, is from Hawaii and is Japanese (not Korean).

We had a great time overall, certainly a record number of people still present at 3am+ , at least from my experience so far.
What was that last song that Barnsley sang btw? Some interesting lyrics there referring to a "gangbang" as far as I recall...

I would imagine what kind of ladies would the ones be, who remained and joined in a girly karaoke bar with the guys at ungodly hours.

I imagine it'd be the kind of women who don't feel constrained by what patriarchal society judges as appropriate. It wasn't a girlie bar.

Twas more like a normal pub with a pool table, weird beer & a Karaoke machine. Not a typical Karaoke Pub or KTV Lounge. Just an interesting collection of nightowls hanging around.

I guess it so you don’t overstay illegally and so they can have the data in their system. Much like a census.
