I will be working in South Korea for St. Patrick's Day and was wondering if and/or how they celebrate? I know the country is about a quarter Christian (mostly Presbyterian and Methodist) so there is a Christian influence, but I'm not sure if there is a grand, drunken celebration like in the USA.

During its seven-year history, Seoul’s St. Patrick’s Parade, though always colorful, has had relatively small turnouts. At best, perhaps 1,000 people might participate. Last March’s event, however, some 5,000 people attended.
