Is it the weather, the people, the traffic, the architecture? Compare your favorite city to Brasília or Brasília to any other city in Brazil and give us some reasons why you like or don´t like it.

Did you know that? “Labor Day is a United States federal holiday that takes place on the first Monday in September. The holiday began in 1882, originating from a desire by the Central Labor Union to create a day off for the “working man”. It is still celebrated mainly as a day of rest.” Wikipedia
“May Day(May1) refers to various socialist and labor movement celebrations conducted on May 1, unrelated to the traditional celebrations, to commemorate the Haymarket martyrs of 1886 and the international socialist movement generally. The latter event is an important holiday in Communist and Socialist countries.” Besides that “ May Day is May 1, and refers to any of several holidays celebrated on this day. May 1 was a traditional summer holiday in many pre-Christian European pagan cultures, and many elements of these holidays are still celebrated on May 1 today, such as the Maypole“ Wikipedia
How about you? What does working mean to you? What does your job mean to you? What do you like best about the job you do? What kind of job would you like to have?
