五月一日 星期二 晴天

在英國有大型的五一慶祝活動，早上六時，教堂嗚鐘之後，由Magdalen College 合唱團表演唱歌。

清晨四時起床了去到市中心，有警察和鐵欄杆阻撓，人們紛紛走向同一個地方，就是Magdalen College。

還有醉酒鬼亂闖，這個酒鬼原本和一班人站在我的隔壁，就在警察不以為意的時候，就從鐵欄杆走了出去，結果，警察又把他捉住。

有些人還標新立異，化妝，穿著不同的服飾。

一家大小戴著同樣的帽子，參加慶祝活動，多溫馨！

人們會在載歌載舞，表演各種不同的舞蹈。而其中一種舞蹈是Morris dance。 A Morris dance is a form of English flok dance usually accompanied by music. It is based on rhythmic stepping and the execution of choreographed figures by a group of dancers.

On the other hand, what we may tell you is ...

We do it all day, we do it all night,
because it is, a fertility rite!
That and the beer.
And it helps preserve a very old tradition,
much like drinking beer.
And it embarrasses our offspring,
which we laugh about while drinking beer.
And it's more fun than aerobics,
which means we can drink more beer.
And it makes us attractive to the opposite sex,
so we can drink beer together.
And it's a social activity,
which includes drinking beer.

One More Thing You Should Know ...

The Maroon Bell Morris Dancers and Breathless in Border Morris are the only Morris sides dancing the sun up for the Rocky Mountain Time Zone on May Day. You can thank us now!

為了配合慶祝活動，早上5:30分就有早餐供應了。平時假期都要八點左右才開門，因為所有上班族都放假，無謂晨早拍蒼蠅了，所以可想而知，他們都很重視這個節日。而活動大約兩小時左右，在市中心不同地方慶祝。
