Every 17th of March is Saint Patrick's Day, a holiday that once had some religious meaning to the Irish but is now mostly an excuse for Americans to drink and eat pub grub. Saint Patrick's isn't actually a major imported holiday in China; unlike Christmas, Halloween, or Valentin's Day there really wasn't any major public acknowledgment of the holiday, even in the corporate way that most foreign holidays are acknowledged. My friends and I didn't let that stop us though, we decided to do Saint Pat's in our own way with our without the Chinese. The best way to do this obviously is with Chinese and non-Irish European food. We did mostly wear green though so that should count for something. We also ended up at a Western style sports bar at the end of the night, Cages, but it was more of a baseball themed type place than an Irish pub. They even had several batting cages open, hence the name. While they looked kind of fun I don't know if baseballs, bats, and beer mix too well. Overall it was a fun night out, even if we didn't do anything too different form our usual weekend it was still cool.

Yes, century eggs are fermented. They look weird but they aren't bad.
