1st of May

>May Day is a public holiday usually celebrated on 1 May. It is an ancient Northern Hemisphere spring festival and a traditional spring holiday in many cultures. Dances, singing, and cake are usually part of the festivities. In the late 19th century, May Day was chosen as the date for International Workers' Day by the Socialists and Communists of the Second International to commemorate the Haymarket affair in Chicago. International Workers' Day can also be referred to as "May Day", but it is a different celebration from the traditional May Day.

Can we reclaim the original holiday rather than the socialist later imposed one?

bring back maypole dancing and release hares and goats?

hey, maypole dancing is a bit like that thing you guys do with the dogs is that your motivation here?

I don't understand any of this. Look is there drinking involved? Because otherwise I can't get behind this

We can add it

here we celebrate cinco de mayo

my old primary school used to do maypole dances in the 70's.
Its too culturally British to do it now.

Yes but not all of us live in a mexican colony now do we

I don't think anyone does it now accept maybe as a larp, but it's an old Europe thing too, not just a British thing.

We just associate as being particularly British as so much of our culture is dead.

Give it time

we add drinking too everything. So I would imagine so.
In old European culture and not that long ago in the UK a tall pole was erected and people danced around it. It probably had something to do with the sun or spring, I don't know.

The releasing of animals and other stuff
are kinda celebration of spring and harvest I guess
>thatharesandgoatswere released as part of the festivities
>crowds were pelted withvetches, beans, andlupins
>bundle of wheat ears was carried into a shrine
>concluded withcompetitive events and spectacles, and a sacrifice to Flora.

and the Bulgarians spin dogs on a pole or string or something like that. Maybe op can explain better

>and the Bulgarians spin dogs on a pole or string or something like that. Maybe op can explain better

It's literally one village somewhere... Nobody knew about it here before some television made a report on it.

I guess you have to live with that as a part of your identity now, a bit like people thinking everyone on the Faroe Islands has a Thai wife.

why is that boy in a skirt?

Everyone was outrage and it was outlawed immediately. Give to village idiots to embarrass you on international level

International workers day forever!

people don't get much info or cultural output from smaller countries so often we get a little glimpse that we are not even paying attention to and think
>oh yeah, they do that weird shit, or that's how is in that place

This is another example, what do you think?

First of the gypsy population is doing fine. Second of whenever some of these vice or whatever reporters go to Bulgaria and want to represent a communist shit hole they put grey filters to make everything look grim. They go out of their way to film shitty buildings even though most buildings here are pretty fine. And so on

Oh and almost forgot the shitty ominous music

Is that Monroe?

Wow, that girl looks angry to just be breathing.

Shhhhh... international workers day

I wish this maypole dancing was real still. Maybe then I could find a wife that's traditional.

The dude that answered your question was probably from Sofia, otherwise rural Bulgaria is pretty much exactly like that. Abandoned factories, old people everywhere. Hell, I live in the center of a medium sized city right next to a mall, there's maybe less than 20 families in a building designed to hold at least 200

Do they not bring out the May pole anymore? They did it here as recently as the 70s. I've even seen pictures of nogs partaking.

I've been to most capital cities in Europe. Anyone living in a city kinda lives the same life.

I've also been to Bulgaria twice so am not completely ignorant of the place. Rural and that kinda collapse in eastern Europe fascinates me, though a lot of you guys seem embarrassed about it. Like the Eastern Europeans at work will accuse eachother of being from a small village like it's some kind of insult.
Just got to find yourself a nice girl and get a little money and that kinda life would be fine with me.
