Karaoke offers the perfect atmosphere to spend a fun night with friends, but surprisingly, you might also be asked to join a KTV night by your boss, client, or business partner!
For foreigners, it can sound strange to sing in front of someone you have a professional relationship with, but this is one of the great things about working in China.
