St. Patty's day in Germany is not anything like what I've seen in Canada. Its on a much smaller scale and only the Irish Pubs celebrate it. Our day kicked off with a Parade around the downtown core with a few Irish Ex-pats, a couple were playing the bag pipes and drums and it was really cool to be a part of it. The pub was packed the entire night, we had a live band, they were great but only played a handful of Irish tunes. The highlight for me was taking a 40 of Jagermeister from some drunk fool that was slamming it back in the centre of the dancefloor, he tried to bribe me with shots, then attempted to wrestle it from my hands (unlucky for him he was a foot shorter than me). Finally I made my way to the bar, passed it to another bar tender and then promptly kicked his ass out!
The next day we had a delicious lunch at the other Irish pub in town, the two pubs cooperate a lot which is something that you don't often see. We then had some beers, entertained by live music, magic and I got a crash course on cricked.

I had the pleasure of rocking a leprechaun outfit for the parade.
