Who knew?

So, it turns out that every year on May 1 (International Workers' Day) there's a 'traditional' riot in Kreuzberg (my neighborhood). Who knew?

Here's an article about the 2007 riots.

Apparently it's okay before the sun sets, and has been getting less wild every year, but Amy, Audrey and I are planning on spending the evening at home in our 6th floor (what the Germans calls '5th floor') apartment. My window has a pretty good view looking down the street, so we'll be able to see the excitement while hopefully being more than a 'stone's throw' from any action.
