Norebang  
Here I am performing the harmless variant of the famous Korean karaoke.
While karaoke means showing yourself up in front of a greater public on a stage
this private version called 'norebang' (singing room) saves you from singing
in front of foreigners. It is getting quite complicated when you try the famous
dancing on platforms guided by arrows that are running up the screen where you
as well read the text you have to sing meanwhile. The difference between the
Japanese DDR and the Korean "Pump" is that the first one works with arrows in
the four main directions while the latter deals with diagonal arrows. That means
you have to stay cool. The estimation of your performance is screened by percentage.
(You can see the light green coloured arrow of the platform in the left bottom corner!)
