When Alan and I tried to get tickets to Prague on Thursday the lovely ticket officer explained that traveling was busy due to the German holiday. We asked what holiday and she said it was "Man's Day". Once we were on our way, Alan said to the woman, "Happy Man's Day!" and she giggled.
It wasn't until 6 hours later, a bottle of wine, and a sweet Dutch couple, that we were told the holiday is not Man's Day, but Ascension Day (day Jesus was taken to Heaven in his resurrected body) - I guess "Happy Ascension Day!" isn't so appropriate...
