Little words from Kikey...

That's a shame that I had been abandon this blog for a year!

I was so busy with work for 1.5 yrs (since July 2010).
Since, I am now on maternity leave expecting my first baby on March 2012.
I am deciding to recall all my memory to complete this blog about my travel.

Love,
Kikey

St. Patrick's Day Parade in Boston

Today is St. Patrick's Day, the parade was held on the day before that is Sunday. I went to the parade, the color you will see on that day was GREEN.

St. Patrick used the shamrock, a three-leaved plant, to explain the Holy Trinity to the pre-Christian Irish.

Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated worldwide by Irish people and increasingly by non-Irish people (usually in Australia and North America). Celebrations are generally themed around all things Irish and, by association, the colour green. Both Christians and non-Christians celebrate the secular version of the holiday by wearing green or orange, eating Irish food and/or green foods, imbibing Irish drink (such as Guinness, Baileys Irish Cream or carbomb drink) and attending parades.

My first time to see the train station so crowded, even though in the train I don't have to hold on, cos everyone like sardine in the can.
