The Green Gob (lin)

So I dyed my beard green for the parade. It got so much comment - I was blown away.
Now Japanese people, especially people in Tokyo, are usually very shy. But I had people stopping me on the street, saying 'Wow that's really cool!' and generally just being very nice.
The highlight of the day for me was when St. Patrick himself, who was leading the parade, stopped and came over to me in the crowd to ask me if the goatee was my natural colour.
Perhaps I should theme my facial hair more often... red for Valentines, yellow for Easter, black and orange for Halloween. What do you think?
