Manneken Pis is considered one of the symbols of Brussels
and it definitely shows the sense of humour or the citizens.
I visited Brussels a few times, and each time I was checking what kind of clothes this little man is wearing this time. 😉
The City of Brussels is the capital of Belgium.
One of the slogans to promote Belgium says:
“Chocolate is best when it is kept out of the sun… No surprise that the best is found in Belgium”.
😀
Well, let’s keep it without a comment,
just try chocolate while visiting Belgium. 🙂
Do you know The Smurfs cartoon?
The Belgian comics artist Peyo (Pierre Culliford) created Smurfs.
One of my “small travel dreams” was to spend a night in a boathouse.
Well, I was even thinking to rent a boathouse when I was living in the Netherlands.
Anyway, my dream came true in Belgium and it was a very nice experience.
p.s. It’s not the same as sailing etc.
Here you can read more about today’s picture,
however, I only wanted to bring your attention to probably the most known Belgian dish.
Of course, Belgian cuisine is much more than fires, beer or chocolate. 🙂
National Belgian flag consists of three vertical stripes: black, yellow and red.
Many people often don’t remember the order of colors,
and confuse Belgian and German flag.
(And it absolutely makes sense!
Belgium has 3 official languages: Dutch, French and German.
Belgium is located in Europe,
bordered to France, Germany, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.
Welcome to Belgium.
This July on my blog is going to be all about this small and somehow unknown important European country.
