Welcome to Maxims!!!!!!!!!!!!
As stated in the class syllabus, some of the requirements for this trip were to become immersed and engaged within Southeast Asian business practices. What better way to become immersed and engaged than over a friendly round of Karaoke with former Vietnamese students of Professor Shultz at a local establishment called Maxims? Although yours truly and Kelly scored the highest score among the group because of our duet effort, the Vietnamese were extremely talented in the art of Karaoke and definitely stole the show. They often times sung American songs better than any of the MBA’s from Loyola could.
The real singing wasn’t able to take place until about 45 minutes after we arrived to the business establishment that offered Karaoke. When we got to the Karaoke room the workers couldn’t figure out how to get the system to work. We started with an American song CD, then went to a Vietnamese song CD and finally were able to put in a CD that had both Vietnamese and American songs. What an ordeal.
After a good hour of rocking the mike, the Vietnamese decided to head for home. Once we lost the most talented core of our group we figured that the night was almost over. Yes, the night was almost over until out of nowhere Ben and Rob restarted the party with the best version of Gangstas Paradise many of us have ever heard. Even 2Pac would have been impressed.
After the butchering of Gangstas Paradise the night was definitely finished. We left Maxims and walked back to the Majestic while enjoying the amazing night filled with sounds of horns and screeching tires from the thousands of motorbikes on the streets.
