Battle of the Karaoke

Yesterday was my very first time going on a company field trip. This is very common in Taiwan that a company will take all of their employees to a field trip, part of the benefits the employee gets. The place we went is on the east coast of the island. It has a much rockyer shoreline then the west coast. It Exposes to the rough pacific Ocean. Three tour buses took us on a 2.5 hour journey along the North Short Highway to our destination. I remember when I was little going on school field. Singing was always on the things to do on the bus list. Well, now we have grown up, this habit never dies. So we sing but in a modern fashion, we have Karaoke on the bus.
It is expected that the traffic will be heavy on weekends. There is no shortage of tour buses too. Like all other tour buses, they also entertain the passenger with karaoke. So what is the big deal ? The microphone, the wireless mic. Because the buses are in very close proximity with each other. All wireless mic transmits on the same frequency, so we have an interference problem. Our receiver sometime picks up the other bus's transmission and over powered our mic that we can hear other bus singing. The battle was on to see who can over power each other with our singing. This went of for a long time until we ran out of song to sing.
I read an article about how bad the mould can do to your respiratory system. Because of the high humidity weather we have, it is suggested that we should use cloth dryer and room de-humidifier to keep the mould from growing. You may remember that I have complained about cloth not been dry 3 days after out of the washer. So I bought a dryer 2 weeks ago. Now it gives me more reason to get a room de-humidifier.
