I imagine I' be getting pissed in the Dub (against my better judgement). I like
Murphy's, but I've only had two pints of it in my life. I went to Ireland it's a
beautiful country, but it needs a roof. I don't have a lucky charm I've signed up to the
enlightenment project.

If I was in the US, I'd be at the Santa Anita horse racing track to salute St Patrick. My
favorite drink is Guinness because I like the Irish head - it's a shame my husband is
English. I've never been to Ireland, but I'd like to go to the Irish Derby. My dog
Taby-chan's fur is my lucky charm.

As I'm a member of the Irish network, I'll be at the parade. My favorite Irish tipple is
whisky. I spent two weeks in Ireland once and my lucky charm is a shamrock sticker on my
phone and a picture of my dog.

To celebrate the luck of the Irish we
took to the streets to find out what your St Paddy's Day plans are. We inquired what Irish
specialties you'll be imbibing, whether you've been to the Emerald Isle and what your
lucky charm is?

When I was in New York I found out what shamrock was and I walked all the way to Madison
Square Garden to the parade. So I guess in Tokyo I'll do the same and go to the parade. I
like Irish coffee - I get really hot every time I drink it. I've been to Ireland six times
and my lucky charm is my own body!

I'm one of the organizers of the parade so I aim to make myself and everyone in Harajuku
green on St Patrick's Day. I'll be an honorary Irish on the day. I drink hot Irish whisky,
Irish coffee, Guinness and Murphy's. Last year I went to the parade in Dublin and I've
been to Ireland seven times now. My luck charm is a claddagh ring.
