abit more walking and we found the famed manikin piss
more chocolates
more waffles.
anyone for high tech chocolates, camera, cd, mouse, handphone?
by then it was dark and we passed a church with a statue outside. alot of people who passed it by touched the statue of christ from head to toe, then touched a motif of a dog, and then another person, and a bunch of grapes. so thsoe spots are very shiny compared to the grime over the rest of the attraction. really shows how much dirt accumulate over the years.
back at the grand place, the buildings were lighted up. look alot better
jeanneke piss. a female contemporary of the manikin piss.
