This has puzzled me for a long time. Why on earth is this statue so popular? It is 'the symbol' for Brussels, they even dress it up in the most appaling costumes.... I mean, I don't get it. Do you???

About Me
- Moni
- For a few years I mainly lived out of a suitcase in other peoples homes to help them get used to life with their newborn baby. When not working I was home in Amsterdam, where I like to hang out with family and friends and do lots of volunteer work. And if that was not enough travel: I like to be in Texas as much as I can too. But the current economy has brought changes and chances. I am now trying to work more in Amsterdam and just do the odd job abroad. We'll see how that goes! Leading this modern day nomads life I am grateful for modern technology and being able to keep in touch with you all spread all over the globe with my mobile and digital gadgets. All while doing some good old fashioned knitting of course.

Mum and dad went there and they went to see it, they were tol
d that the history of it is that during some great fire a little boy pee'd on the fire and put it out and saved the country!
There are several stories similar to that. An other real famous one is that he was a Duke's son and they lost him and they found him like that in the middle of a big battle. And now he is a sign of bravery??
Anyway, I just think Brussels has so much more to offer than this silly little fountain/statue.
