The RTT television from Brasov (the same one whom we called in August last year) was today in Mina 1 Mai. They interviewed several villagers including Vladimir from the pub, and the mayor of Vulcan asking them if they remember how they celebrated May 1st before. The name of the village is the Mine of the 1st May, and as today it was 1st of May they wanted to show the contrast between the past and present.
In the past, May the first was a holiday and big feast, usually celebrated with the traditional "mici" (little Romanian spicy sausages) and beer, and a lot of music especially brass bands.
Today, according to the TV network, only 500 people live in the village, they do not celebrate much, most of the people left the village, and who are still here, work and they are very nostalgic of the past, when they were proud of the name of their village...
