St. Patrick's Day

For St. Patrick's Day we headed to Seoul with our friend, James. Korea actually has quite a large Irish community. The Irish Association of Korea hosts a big St. Patrick's Day festival with traditional music, dancing, beer and bangers and mash.


James met Martina and Simon from www.eatyourkimchi.com

They were very down to earth and funny. For those of you at home, these guys host a site that has videos about everything Korea from a foreigner's perspective. They're kind of a big deal.

That night we went to an Irish pub in Itaweon to listen to our friend, Robin, play the accordion in an Irish traditional band. This was probably the highlight of our day. 

People were coming in and out but throughout the night there were anywhere from 8-12 people playing in the band. 

Buddies

Our new friends, Megan and Joe didn't have any green so they bought these matching hoodies. Such a Korean couple.

We ended the trip on Sunday with an amazing English breakfast complete with bacon and baked beans. We had a great weekend!
