* [[April 29]] to [[May 5]] in Japan, which includes four different holidays, is called "[[Golden Week (Japan)|Golden Week]]". Many workers have up to 10 days off. There is also 'May sickness', where new students or workers start to be tired of their new routine. (In Japan the [[school year]] and [[fiscal year]] start on April 1.)
* [[Mayovka]], in the context of the late [[Russian Empire]], was a [[picnic]] in the countryside or in a park in the early days of May, hence the name. Eventually, "mayovka" (specifically, "proletarian mayovka") came to mean an illegal celebration of [[May 1]] by revolutionary public, typically presented as an innocent picnic.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://homofestivus.ru/maevki.html|title=Маевки|work=homofestivus.ru|access-date=2015-05-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150518100624/http://homofestivus.ru/maevki.html|archive-date=2015-05-18|url-status=dead}}</ref>
