It's THAT time of the year again! for one day only, Ireland will become ultra irish and the world will turn Irish. We'll have green make-up, green Guinness, Green Milkshakes, Green Hair cuts. Ireland will suddenly fill up with tourists for 1 week and, for a few days, we'll celebrate our patron Saint Patrick. This year is a funny one, as St. Patricks' day falls on a Wednesday and so the people that organise these things, have decided to run a 6 day festival, culminating in the parade and party on the 17th.
The wonderful Diane, our social coordinator, will, as usual, be organising a huge day out for the 17th as well as a outings during the whole week leading up to it. There'll be comedy acts, the
"skyfest" which is a huge fireworks display, Irish dancing, concerts and lots and lots of Guinness...Last year, some of our students were in the parade itself, and afterwards, we booked the VIP section of the PURTY KITCHEN in Dublin's famous Temple Bar and had a typical Irish dinner followed dancing and partying...
March is a good time to be an English Student in Ireland! So, where will you be this St. Patricks Day 2010?
