Boy bands and girl bands are incredibly popular here. And a lot of the K-Pop that comes from them is pretty, well, annoying. They all sound exactly the same as if there was some algorithm they use to crank out their top hits, which, I guess, is what you could say about the music back home. It's just worse here because the selection isn't as vast, and so you'll hear the same song multiple times in the same store. But everyone in Southeast Asia is in love with k-pop, and friends have told me they've heard k-pop in Thailand, Cambodia, and I've heard it in Taiwan. My students love to sing random verses from whatever song is popular at the moment (and the songs are popular for months), and love it when I do the same.
I will admit that there are some songs (ie. two or three) that get me excited enough to dance. The following is one of them. They're a nine-member girl band called Girls' Generation, and...yeah. It's totally my guilty pleasure at the moment, and this is the song I sing in class to get my students excited.
I talk about poo too much

- It states that I can write as little or as much as I'd like. I'd prefer the former, though, as it would seem, I do the latter.
