I spent St. Patty's day weekend in Seoul and was welcomed with the sight of a massive crowd of foreigners all decked out in their green and best irish attire. I can almost bet the festival was larger than that of New Orleans' St. Patrick's Day parade. It was a completely surreal moment when after returning from the drink run to hear "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" being belted out by an all Korean band. After a few more U2 hits and some traditional irish jigging the event almost seemed normal, while at the same time completely out of the ordinary.
