May 1
Labor Day in Romania is an occasion for socialising and partying on green grass, in forest glades, trips to the mountains and the Black Sea It is a terrible agglomeration in trains or with cars on the Sun highway that leads to the Black Sea, Constanta, Eforie, Navodari,Mamaia,Vama Veche.
In the communist era eulogies were brought to the leaders by parading with their paintings in their hands , witch allegorically decorated with flowers and everyone shouted in chorus flattering wishes of the communist party including the smallest children called the hawks of the homeland and the grandest pioneers with red ties and flags in their little hands.
Now are different times, no marches just strikes or general meetings where people express their discontent and troubles.
Even now we don’t have a life in pink only, milk and honey. Many factories and coal mines were closed, there were floods , people suffer a lot , salaries are generally not enough for a normal life.Many are unemployed or have gone to work abroad . From May 1 only young and students still spend time at campfires playing guitars and with their voice rock songs.
Those who can afford it party in the mountains in grand hotels and guesthouses with rich meals and an orchestra with famous artists. Most stay at home and prepare chicken steak, small sausages and various homemade cakes in their kitchen so they don t spend a lot. There has always will be inequality. But let us take care of our children and educate them to aspire as high as possible through work and ambition.
That’s why May 1st exists.
