St. Patrick's Day
Friday, March 24, 2006
So what's this day all about? the culture here isssss... Dress in Green... real green... have some booze and get drunk... sleep/laze your whole wkend away on the sofa(which is what Tom did). haha, Saint Patrick's Day (17/03/06)greeted me with a call from Village 1 cafeteria, saying that i've won a jar of chocolate coins. A few days ago, joo, sara and i participated in "guess the number of chocolate coins" and apparently, my guess was the closes though it's still 50less than the actual number. A total of 208 pieces. It's quite a good souvenir as it's the print of one-canadian-dollar coin but too bad, the chocolates are all gone now.
Then i was surprised by the crowd at bombers(club in school). A long queue of people waiting to get into the place since morning. Almost everyone dressed in green. haha. There are people who painted their face green, wear green hat.. haha.. (the chinese believe that if guys wear green hat, it means that their girlfriends are doing seeing someone else behind his back). Adam did suggest to 'paint' his goatee (which seems more like beard now) green but no action afterall.
Went to downtown Toronto with Giselle and sister, janice to catch the Saint Patrick's Day parade. It's really chilly standing there to wait for the different 'floats' to drive pass. Decided to get a cup of hot beverage from Timmys and yayy... won a cup of free coffee from Roll up the Rim. alright, as you can see from the pics, this parade is really small scale and so, the designs of the floats are not very impressive. The Irish music played during the parade sounds cool though. 
Interesting things that i saw:
1)A topless guy doing pumping in the middle of the road when i'm jumping around in the cold
2) A really tall grey dog. Hasn't seen any bigger one yet
3) A really long limousine..
4) when they say Saint Patrick's day must wear something green, some canadians will dress up really green. With a green hat, a green top, a green bottom, green pair of socks and green lipsticks.
