One activity that the group signed up to do was go to a Karaoke Bar a little ways outside of Dungarvan. This was a most excellent idea. After a few pints we were all primed to perform. It was a great experience because not only did all the Americans make the Irish people's ear drums cry, but it was a great chance to bond with other people in our group.
Then one of the greatest moments of my life happened.
It was around minutes before the group was supposed to leave to return to Dungarvan and one of my friends and I had entered a card we thought was not going to be called. We had written down that our names were Jack and Rose and that we were to be performing "My Heart Will Go On" from the Titanic.
I am a ballet major and my friend is a music major and can actually sing quite well. So what happened next was that we absolutely put on a show. We were romantically dancing and eventually had the entire bar singing along and dancing with each other. As soon as the song ended we were applauded and then loaded onto the bus to go home. But not after complimented by everyone we passed with Irish phrases such as "that was great craic!"
