~St. Patty's Day Celebration~

This past weekend, a festival was held for all us foreigners missing their St. Patty's Day binge-drink-during-the-day celebrations. Last year I went to the South Side Parade in Chicago with my girlfriends, which is notorious for being the biggest celebration in the city. The Korean fest wasn't nearly close to that madness, which I'm pretty thankful actually.

There was a parade, live music, free beer, korean's on stilts, and a whole lotta scantily clad foreigners. The weather was not so hot. It was windy and the sky was turning yellow/green (thanks to yellow dust season, which I'll talk about in a bit). We stayed to watch the parade, get a free t-shirt, take some pics, but then we headed to Itaewon to go to a pub called The Wolfhoud.







Our coworker Jon played the bagpipes in the parade, kilt and all.


The Wolfhound is pretty much a foreigner bar. It was packed. With green beers for $2 and green jello-shots, not to mention really good food, I wasn't surprised it was standing room only. Thankfully we had a table and many new friends to enjoy our day with. We drank...a lot. But alas, I'm alive!






After bar hopping, spilling drinks, and eating a piece of candy off the floor (by force), I decided it would be in better health to head home. A half day of drinking and another half day to sleep it off. Nice-uh!
