Labour of love

May 1 is International Labour Day, a public holiday in many countries.

Labour Day is an annual holiday celebrated all over the world that resulted from the labour union movement -- to celebrate the economic and social achievements of workers. Most countries celebrate Labour Day on May 1, and it is popularly known as May Day and International Workers' Day.

The celebration of Labour Day has its origins in the eight-hour day movement, which advocates 8 hours for work, 8 hours for recreation, and 8 hours for rest.

Today is a public holiday where we are, so we're off on vacation (a working vacation)! Right now we're on a flight to Seoul -- Jo Hyun-Jae country! Sorry, nothing to read today. But feast your eyes on the two gorgeous photos above.
