dressed up Manneken Pis – OOTD<\/p><\/div>\n

The most famous landmark in Brussels is a statue of a boy pissing into a fountain – known as Manneken Pis<\/strong>. He has a wardrobe full of different outfits (some fun, some political) so it is worth it to pass back on different days to snap an OOTD.<\/p>\n

Less known but just as peculiar is his female counterpart who squats in an alley full of bars, behind bars. Who put Janneke Pis<\/strong> behind bars?<\/p>\n

With Brussels being the center of attention for all things political in Europe, it is only natural to find political statements and messages everywhere in the city.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Brussels is political – “Brussels and Wallonia are becoming the trash can of the world.”<\/p><\/div>\n

Another very Belgian thing is comics, known as Bandes Dessin\u00e9es<\/em> or just BD<\/em>, the likes of Marsupilami, Tintin<\/em>…you can find them looking at you from various house walls in the city.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

BD is cult!<\/p><\/div>\n

There are chocolate stores everywhere in Brussels, mostly for tourists, but this little store adds a cute little twist (and maybe a political statement?) with four little wise monkeys. Too cute to eat.<\/p>\n
