Memorial day weekend

[james]

To everyone in America, enjoy your long weekend. Travel safely and eat well. For everyone not in the U.S., do you have a regular work and school week? Where do Canada, Australian and New Zealand land on this holiday?

Take care,
James

Happy Memorial Day to all you people in the U.S.


Our war Memorial Day is Anzac day (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps), it was last month - 25/04. It is for Aus. and New Zealand. Generally there are dawn services, veteran marches and you can slip into a local pub and play 2 Up with some of the diggers (war veterans).

Re: Memorial day weekend

Monday is just Monday here in The True North Strong and Free. Since so much of our commerce is with the US it's a pretty relaxed day anyway.
Last Monday was Victoria Day, a stat holiday which marks the official celebration of the Queen's birthday and, like Memorial Day, the unofficial beginning of summer.

Monday is Whitmonday in the UK, a bank holiday and general good reason to celebrate spring. All in all, much of the world should be on the patio eating pizza on Monday.
