Hi, all!!
Today, one of the most recognized public holiday in Ireland, it's named after St Patrick passed away on 17th of March, and has gradually become a celebration of Irish culture in general.
Are you thinking why did I pick up about this day in spite of I'm in Newzaland??
Because in Newzealand, there are many immigrants who has a background of Ireland. Recently, migrants from Ireland might be gradually less than before, but they have already come here since last generation, so everybody has an Irish culture comes together in city on this day, wearing a green attire, which means that is like traditional color for Irish people.
In fact, I was in city with my Irish friend got to meet in Auckland through one of my another friend.
He was of course wearing a green shirts and it's known exactly why, but he put a green tie on the green shirts. That was so unique, haha
And he used to be in Kumamoto, where is one of a countryside of Kyusyu in Japan as a English teacher and was also involved in one of the English educational project in Japanese high school for a couple years.
So he was so frank and friendly on me.
I had really fun and enjoyable time with him. I was treated on dinner as well!! Thank you so much today, Brendan!!
こんな時に恐縮ですが、普通のブログに戻さしてもらいます。
今日は、St Patrick's dayというアイルランドの祝日。アイルランドにキリスト教を広めた聖人パトリックの命日。
なぜアイルランドの祝日？と思う方も多いはず。というのも、ここＮＺでも多くのアイルランドからの先代からの移民が過ごしており、アイルランドを背景に持つＮＺ人が多いのです。
というのも、この国では正式な祝日では当然ありませんが、町中がアイルランドの象徴色である「緑」の服を身につけて、皆でお酒を飲み合うのがここＮＺでもお決まりの行事になっているそうです。
実は、さっきまで知人の友人であるオークランドに住むアイルランド人と一緒に飲んでいました。笑
彼はもう立派なおじさん？なんですが、全身緑の服で固め、なぜかＴシャツの上から緑のネクタイをしてました。笑
彼は以前熊本に数年住んでいて、大変親日家の気さくな人で楽しかったです。
タイレストランで食事をし、その後はアイリッシュバーへ。すべてご馳走になり、至れり尽くせりの一日。いいリラックスになりました。さぁまたサッカー！サッカー！！
