they celebrate May Day here, and I once again forgot

Useless trip out to the bank today, which of course was closed. Today is May 1st, i.e., May Day for much of the world—a national holiday that is both a springtime festival and a day to honor workers. In the States, we have Labor Day, but that's all the way in September and is usually a last-gasp holiday for students ending their summer vacations and looking with dread toward the new school year.

So... Monday, then, I'm once again off to the bank to transfer a few hundred bucks to my US account. I also have to sign my new rental contract. Yay.
