三月十七日(sangatsu jyuushichi nichi): March 17

It was very hot yesterday like summer, but became very cold again today.

March 17 is St. Patrick's Day, but it is not known in Japan so much. When I was in the USA, some people wore something green which reminded me of "Oh, today was St. Patrick's Day!"

In 1993 on this day I was in Dublin to see the St. Patrick's Day. I went to the St. Patrick Church and saw the parade. But it was so crowded that I felt I was watching people rather than parade itself. I did not have changes and a kind Japanese man helped me to go to the bank. I withdrew money using the card and felt how convenient to have a credit card.
