Colombo viharamahadevi park
The Viharamahadevi Park (formerly Victoria Park) is a public park located in Colombo, next to the National Museum in Sri Lanka. It is the oldest and largest park of the Port of Colombo. Situated in front of the colonial-era Town Hall building, the park is named after Queen Viharamahadevi, the mother of King Dutugamunu. The park was built on land donated to the Colombo city by Charles Henry de Soysa during the British rule of Sri Lanka, and used to be named Victoria Park after Queen Victoria. During World War II it was occupied by the British Army with Australian 17th Brigade based at Victoria Park. After the war the park was restored and open to the public in 1951.
There used to be a cricket ground in the park, which was used for first-class cricket between 1927 and 1995. Ceylon played against a touring English team there in 1927 and against an Australian team in 1935.
Viharamahadevi Park
The park features include a huge Buddha statue and a series of water fountains. It also includes a mini zoo, a children's play area and a BAC Jet Provost.
The Viharamahadevi Park is the only large-scale public park in Colombo, and is maintained by the Colombo Municipal Council.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
International Workers' Day, also known as Workers' Day, May Day or Labour Day in some countries and often referred to as May Day, is a celebration of labourers and the working classes that is promoted by the international labour movement which occurs every year on May Day (1 May), an ancient European spring festival.The date was chosen by a pan-national organization of socialist and communist political parties to commemorate the Haymarket affair, which occurred in Chicago on 4 May 1886. The 1904 Sixth Conference of the Second International, called on all Social Democratic Party organisations and trade unions of all countries to demonstrate energetically on the First of May for the legal establishment of the 8-hour day, for the class demands of the proletariat, and for universal peace.The first of May is a national public holiday in many countries worldwide, in most cases as Labour Day, International Workers' Day or some similar name – although some countries celebrate a Labour Day on other dates significant to them, such as the United States, which celebrates Labor Day on the first Monday of September.
International Workers' Day
International Workers' Day, also known as Labour Day in some places, is a celebration of laborers and the working classes that is promoted by the international labor movement, anarchists, socialists, and communists and occurs every year on May Day, 1 May, an ancient European spring holiday. The date was chosen for International Workers' Day by the Second International to commemorate the Haymarket affair, which occurred in Chicago on 4 May 1886. This Day has its origins in the labour union movement, specifically the eight-hour day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest.
Being a traditional European spring celebration, May Day is a national public holiday in many countries, but in only some of those countries is it celebrated specifically as Labour Day or International Workers' Day. Some countries celebrate a Labour Day on other dates significant to them, such as the United States, which celebrates Labor Day on the first Monday of September.

HIROSHIMA 広島
Do you know what kind of day August 6 is today?
City have Stoped time in the mind
I visited Hiroshima in the work of the shooting. I had time to work before the original start time, I went sightseeing in this city to get a small camera. The morning of that day, the train was running through the city. People were and we always start the same day. And the next moment, the city was destroyed in a huge light. This beautiful river was floating in a countless number of bodies.
Whopping stupid things! While continuing to hover in the beautiful and peaceful city, my consciousness was captured in 1945, August 06-day time was just getting feedback.
撮影の仕事で広島を訪れる機会に恵まれた。本来の仕事が始まる夕刻までの間に私は小さなカメラを手にこの街をむさぼるように歩き回った。あの日の朝も、街にはこのように電車が走り、人々の変わらぬ営みが始まっていた。そして街は一瞬にして消滅し、この美しい川面には無残な姿の遺体が累々と折り重なった。「なんと愚かなことを!!」美しく穏やかなこの街を彷徨い続けながら、私の意識は掻き消しても掻き消しても1945年8月6日へとフィードバックするばかりだった。底知れない哀しさを伴って。
