May day celebration
Celebration for 1st of May is a bit different here. During the eve, students will gathered in city centre in late afternoon. At 6:00p.m. present or previous graduated students will put their white hat on for the whole evening and also 1st of May. You will see many students and families picnic or partying in parks to celebrate the May Day or Vappu in Finnish. Friend of mine was a bit surprised with this kind of celebration. The event celebration is more like a family activity day. Yes, it is indeed.
We have a bring-a-dish Vappu eve brunch on last Friday noon. I volunteered myself to prepare Malaysian satay (A-Jin’s version, supervised by my wife) for my colleagues. I received many great feedback from my colleagues regarding my satay, haha. I’m glad they like it.
On 1st of May, we have BBQ in the nature reserve park, Arboretum together with our friends here. The park is also a good for bird lovers. There are two birdwatching and viewpoints towers which you could enjoy the scene and also appreciate the natural. Many locals are here for birds watching.
A bit pity was, the weather was windy, shower and cloudy. If the May day weekend will be good for outdoor activities.
