Singing is not just for the shower.

Can i just say how much i love and appreciate that here nobody lets inhibitions stop them from singing. In a bookstore, we were looking for notebooks, and all of a sudden we heard someone singing along with the overhead music- we looked down the aisle and saw nobody and then we looked over to the cashier and she was just singing into her microphone at her register-nothing stopping her.
We went last week to visit our sewers, and as we entered one of their homes they right away put on the karaoke machine, and we spent an hour singing whatever songs we knew from the list- nobody hesitating to belt out the notes.
Yesterday at the beach, we all sang, mostly out of key and off pitch, but no one batted an eye, as we just enjoyed freeing ourselves through song.
I hear grown men here singing a high pitched song, putting their full effort into it as they are walking down the street.
just a comparison, i know some people back home who wouldn't be caught dead singing along to the radio or at any moment they feel, due to what they think others will think, or that they are not good enough to be singing out loud. NEWS FLASH!: Singing ain't just for the shower no more!!! Lets take notes from the Filipinos and just sing- no one cares!
Peace out
