I went to Tokyo to celebrate St. Patrick's Day and it felt a little bit like being back in Ireland. We celebrated with Irish and Japanese people in Roppongi on Saturday and even though Ireland lost the rugby we still had a lot of fun. On Sunday there was a parade in Harajuku which was brilliant, so many people took part and it was nice to see so many Japanese people celebrating with the Irish.
There was a lot of band playing traditional music and dancing Irish traditional dances. Some people who had Irish dogs paraded with them. In the picture below, these are called Irish Red Setters and they are my favourite type of dog. I was so excited to see them in the parade.
There were people in crazy outfits, like the ones above who are dressed as Leprechauns, these are mythical Irish fairies who live at the end of rainbows and guard a pot of gold.
