May 1, 2008 - Labor Day in Kiev - (Dial-up Warning).

For those of you not familiar with the May 1st Labor Day holiday, celebrated in many places, but not the USA, visit here...

May Day

Here in Kiev, many people are off all week. April 27th was Orthodox Easter, and May 1st is Labor Day. This does NOT count against your 4-5 weeks of vacation time.

Here are some of my May Day photos.

Marinskiy Park, Kiev.

Archive Photo of Marinskiy Palace, since it's currently under reconstruction.

Russian-Ukrainian Friendship Statue

Labor Day Celebrations, sponsered by the Socialist Party.

Danged Socialists. They believe in "Socialized" Health Care. AND Singing and Dancing.

Even MORE stuff here... http://www.flickr.com/photos/mattsh/
