It's international Labour day. We have it in Denmark too. In China they have 3 days off, some have just 2 days (our translator f.x.). My lady told me that they have 7 days holiday both at Spring festival and at National day.
-
My girl is going to her home town tomorrow for the festival as apparently tomorrow (Friday 1st) is a public holiday.
So many people will be going home for a long weekend visit.
If you have long gap between emf's this might be the reason.
-
Yes, my lady informed me that her agency is closed down for two days because of the holiday.
-
Yeah...just got back from China, and the English channel (CCTV 9) was running a lot of ads about May holiday. Guys...don't panic if you don't hear from your ladies...it won't be as long as Chinese New Year!!!
-
Yeah just got a letter back. Guess they squeezed it in before they leave for the holiday.
-
I think it is Chinese Labor Day ( 01 May ) same as in Germany . Don't ask me why ? You all know China and Germany go Hand in Hand about many things .
-
Yup yup - in the 1990s it used to be a 7 day holiday too - now it's just.. like 3 days (1 official weekday, and the 2 weekend days) something like that.
-
What I was just thinking , are their Holiday's payed ? For getting seven day's off , I say most likely not . Otherwise ... see you all later !

1. of may is paid. But I don't know about the other days, I will try to find out ;)
