It's really true. Here in Ukraine May is the month of holidays. At least that is how it feels for the first half of the month! May 1st and 2nd are generally given off for May Day and I thinkt he 2nd may actually be another holiday, but can't remember. then on the 9th is Victory Day from when Ukraine was liberated from the Germans, how-many-ever years ago... The government often gives an extra day off during this time, or so it seems. Except that people then have to make it up by working the following Saturday. :P
With Easter this year falling at the end of April it made for quite a run of holidays!
My parents also returned on the 8th, so it has been nice to see them a couple of times. The next month will be quite busy as they prepare to go to Russia in June for a six week training seminar with some of our people there. But it is good to have them back again.
