    Japan has 勤労感謝の日 which is typically translated as “labor thanksgiving day” in English and is 23 November this year. We have no national public holiday on May 1st this year. I think it’s possible for some of the Golden Week holidays to fall on the 1st technically, but I’m not 100% sure on that.

      Lol thats truly unique

      The map certainly isnt perfect. Austria for example should be yellow since we official just celebrate an ominous “state holiday” and nothing else. Which essentially was just a compromise in order to not anger the bourgeoisie back when it was made a holiday.

      My wife (bless her sweet heart) for years thought the song said “outdoor cookin’ starts today”.
