Labor Day! :10000+ people picnic in Fælleden Park, Copenhagen

It is already May!! It is officially spring, but the weather is still very very cold in Copenhagen, around 10°C as the highest temperature. I'm told that every year on May 1st, in Fælleden Park (a big nice part in central Copenhagen), there is a big outdoor barbeque/picnic activity that may attract thousands of people. Since May 1st is the International Labor Day, parades and politic speeches about socialism and workers' welfare will "flood the town". :) It is quite interesting to me because I should definitely believe that the welfare for workers here is far better than that for workers of China. In a sense Denmark is a far more socialist country than China.Generally the traffic condition in Copenhagen is exceptionally good: easy transportation even during rush hours of the day. May 1st was the first time that I experienced traffic jam in Copenhagen because everyone at that time of the day was heading toward Fælleden Park.
May 1st was a day of great fun, except for the bad weather...It rained and became cloudy and sometimes sunny and rained again...Outdoor activity was meant to be held in great weather and under sunshine, though the weather did disappoint me. I was shivering in cold wind and drizzling rain drops, yet still so happy to be with my friends and to see how all the people in the park enjoyed themselves to the full despite the bad weather.XD
