Crazy people (it seemed like everyone I ever wrote to in the 80s from Belgium was nuts)
Bad drivers (they are always on the road here, between the French highway and the German autobahn they have to cut across my main driving route and they drive me nuts)
One of my favorite artists (Magritte)
the pissing boy statue that I spent 45 minutes trying to find - and had been right around the corner from when I started walking around trying to find him
Fantastic cherry beer
Really cool street art (bags of water with religious statues underneath)

crazy people ? I think we are pretty average concerning 'crazyness'... Couldn't it have been you who were a bit of in the 80's ?? :lol2:
Bad drivers ? I thought those were the French... I'd rather say the Belgians should be good drivers considering the fact that we have the most dense network of roads and highways in the world ! Cars, cars and more cars on every god forsaken road in this country !
About the pissing boy, I really wonder why every foreigner comes to look for the little guy. Ok, he is old but so are about 153.896 far more interesting things in Belgium :roll:
Besides, everyone who have found the statue was disappointed by its size and location. He is located on a lost alley somewhere in Brussels and can't be more than 1 meter in height.
So forget about this guy, no big deal... Wanna see a guy taking a leak go to a rock concert !
Cherry beer, right on ! We brew beer with every kind of fruit you can imagine but when it comes to fruit beer you can't beat cherry and peaches... Beware, not every cherry beer is a good as the other. Before making a purchase, don't hesitate to call on Shadowman expertise... 8)
Street art ? We have become quite famous throughout the last few years for that... Many fascinating new street festivals have seen the light in the last decade. Mind you, many of the artists you may see may come from outside the country...
