It would be a shame to write about 35 different things about Belgium and not to mention this sculpted masterpiece that attracts thousands of tourist every year. Mannikin Pis is a Brussels' landmark. Any city that you find yourself in that makes a statue of a peeing boy a must see tourist destination must be an interesting city. Countless tourists roam the streets just hoping to see him dressed for the day, his usual posture taken, to have their photo taken with him. The truly fortunate tourist will arrive to find him peeing
beer with an attendant happily filling cups for the thirsty. This little boy probably has more outfits than I do seeing as people from around the world give him clothes as gifts. Not only do people send him clothing, but they go to great lengths to capture him in different items, such as chocolate sculptures, bottle openers, and key chains. How did this little boy come to be? There is no one that can truly answer that question, though many have tried. It is best not to question, but just to enjoy the humorous invention of those in the past.
