Is it a holiday where you are? If so, will you do something special.
I never pay much attention to it, but it must be a special day for some because most people here in Germany don't work on 1st May, the shops close and there are parades in the streets.
Reply to this It's not a special day in Aus but I suppose it is for me.... I'm in Cambodia!!
Reply to this we were in athens on may day - there was a big rally in syntagma square. not sure what they were protesting for though.....
i heard there were massive (violetn) riots in berlin though?
Reply to this Apparently 1st May is considered a day to hold demonstrations about workers rights. With the current world economy problems there was a particularly high level of tension this year on 1st May.
Here is a news blog about the 1st May demonstrations in Europe.
Anger and Fear Fuel May Day Europe Protests Reply to this Last year I was in Rome for May Day and the parade was massive - it took about 90 minutes for the stream of people - many carrying blue and white flags - to march past the Colosseum.
