Happy Int'l Workers Day!

Here and in other communist/socialist states, today is May Day, also called International Workers day. According to the wikipedia:

In the United States, Labor Day is celebrated on the first Monday in September instead of on May 1. This Labor Day was a creation of the 1880s Knights of Labor and was adopted officially in 1887 in the U.S. in an attempt to disassociate labor activism from the radical left. In 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower proclaimed May 1 both as Loyalty Day and as Law Day. Each year, the sitting president proclaims these observances on May 1.

Because of this, I thought I'd share some photos of North Korea. A friend of mine, David Akast, from England took a trip there late last year, and took the photos shown here: http://picasaweb.google.com/davidakast/NorthKorea

As an American, I obviously can't go there, as they'd shoot me on site, though I did manage to get to the border between the DPRK & China, in the city of Dandong in the fall of 2006. Interesting seeing the North Koreans coming across the bridge between Dandong, China & Sinojiu, DPRK.

Anyways, have fun at work. The commies have today off!!!
