I'm a simple emigrant, and today is Labor Day

In Germany, May Day is a national holiday and a nationwide day off. Its essence is the same as in Russia: labor, peace, May. Usually in Frankfurt on this day demonstrations and parades organized by workers' unions take place, where workers express their position, paint huge banners and may even perform a small performance. And in Berlin, in the liberal Kreuzberg district, Labor Day turns into a big street Hippie party, there are plenty of photos on the Internet. Unfortunately, national holidays in Germany are not moved to weekdays if they fall on weekends. But it's still great to have at least one 'May Day' holiday; as you understand, there aren't any others here. Photo of today's celebrations in Frankfurt by Sergen Kaya #holidays
