One of my favorites from Belgium was the little peeing statue ‘Manneken Pis’. Yes a literal translation works, Statuary Peeing. Apparently people dress him up into cute little tiny outfits, and they even have a museaum to show them off. We did pass on seeing that. But, we were able to witness one of them. It rained everyday we were there, so this outfit was fitting.
I also found the best wine opener. It is a Manneken Pis with a cork screw opener as his…… well……. you will just have to come drink some wine with me here to see it if you cannot picture it. Sort of a let down of a tourist attraction since we almost walked right by it, and it is life size, which is to say, he is small. Just had to get in my two cents worth in response to Ben’s post. Isn’t he just cute! I think when I was a child my parents had a drink stirrer with this little guy on the top. It fascinated me then, and it still fascinates me now.
