Wuxi China Expatdom celebrates Saint Patrick's Day with many events in the realm.

As with every other holiday, the Wuxi China Expatdom celebrated Saint Patrick's Day, the official holiday of its Irish Minority, in grand style.

To honor the Irish fighting spirit, the Expatdom gathered one million Expats into Harry Moore Memorial Square in an attempt to enter the Guinness Book of World Records by staging the largest ever donnybrook.

To honor the Irish tendency to criminality, Expatdom Police drove Paddy Wagons were driven around the Expatdom to stage mock arrests and liquidations.

Many Wuxi Expats donned Green, the official country of Ireland, to celebrate the day.  Some Wuxi Expats took a dip in Lake Taihu to make themselves phosphorescent green.  Expatdom Prime Minister Mango wore a tight, strapless, green chiffon evening dress and a leprechaun's hat, demurely tilted on the head.  Gambay's Pub served green beer and baijoe, and gave free beer to anyone named Pat -- Andis Kaulins, claiming his middle name was Pat, made his first visit to the Pub in four years.  Gorzo the Mighty, King of the Wuxi Expatdom, wore a green crown.

Poet Laureate Alfred Lord McClusky recited the poems of W.B. Yeats.  He even changed the words of the Yeats poem "When you are old" before inscribing it on the walls of the women's washroom at Gambay's.

An International Expeditionary Force, consisting of Wuxi Expats from Ottawa and Toronto, Ontario, Canada, was set up to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
