Saint Patrick's Day: A truly international holiday

Almost one month ago we made our usual trek into downtown Seoul to take in some culture, only this time it wasn't exactly Korean in nature.  Donning our green garb, we took to the streets of Insadong, a place in Seoul widely known for it's traditional Korean feel.  As we neared square where there was rumored to be a gathering of all things Irish, we passed by a wee bit of foreigners strutting the streets all sporting something green.  The blaring sounds of bagpipes and rock guitars echoed through the streets lined with souvenir shops and traditional tea houses.  After our 3 hour trek we had reached our destination, and just in time to catch a Korean U2 cover band that old Bono himself would be very proud of.  The party ran from 11 am to 5 pm then moved to the bars in surrounding parts of the city.  It was there that the green beer flowed like the Han river.  After a few beers, a little Irish jiggin', and a few more beers, we decided to catch the last train back to our lovely home in Incheon... We had a McGreat time.
