St. Patrick's day, Ginger Kids

As everyone knows, St. Patrick's day was just celebrated around the world. In Hangzhou, most all of our friends planned on going to Shamrock, the only Irish pub in town. It has to be the one day of the year that this place makes any money, because it is in a terrible location and just poorly run in general, but we had a pretty great time. There was quite a crowd, people of all ages from all over the world, and a good cover band playing. Later we made it back over to our side of town because there were cheap Guinness' to be had. I did wake up with green paint all over my face, feeling a bit haggard.

At work last week somehow the topic of ginger kids was brought up among the Chinese teachers and me and a couple other American teachers. We began to tell them wild stories expanding on the evils of the ginger gene, basically just stealing everything from a South Park episode and the urban dictionary definition of ginger kids. The Chinese teachers were absolutely fascinated, and are honestly frightened of red hair now.
