International Labor Day is May 1st for most of the world. Here in France May 1st/Labor Day is celebrated by what else, manif’s. How can you tell the difference from regular days? I’m not quite sure but the trash strewn along the side of Rue de Metz was more than normal. So I guess International Labor Day strikes are bigger than your general ones. I was surprised by how many places were open today. I thought everything was going to be closed.

I wrote a brief history of May 1st for Hub Pages, you can read it here.
