The symbol of Brussels is a small bronze statue of a pissing boy. His cloths change many times. (perhaps he is wetting himself) He has more than 500 outfits preserved in a Museum. It appears that the statue was erected in the 8th century. Brussels have more than a million inhabitants and is a very nice city.
