Terracotta Typewriter would like to wish everyone a happy St. Patrick’s Day–even if you aren’t Irish, you can pretend to be for the day. We know how difficult it can be to celebrate the day with a good pint of Guinness and some corned beef in China (we never did find corned beef anywhere in the Middle Kingdom), but there are always substitutes. If you live in a city with a Wal-Mart, you can at least find bottles of Guinness Foreign Export (which just doesn’t taste as good as draught, but it’ll do).

If you teach English in China, we encourage you teach a few lessons in Gaelic.

For those of you looking for a writing prompt for today, we suggest channeling one of the many great Irish writers. And if you happen to be in Dublin, go visit the Irish Writers Museum and take a literary pub tour of the city.
