This
little pissing boy is undoubtedly the city's most recognisable attraction
and is easily found just a short walk from the Grand Place. We
had been told not to expect a statue of grand proportion, but when we
saw the Manekin Pis we couldn't believe how small he was !
On
the day of our visit he was apparently wearing the national costume of
Thailand. There are over 600 hundred costumes made for him, quite a few
are on display in the Musee Ville de Bruxelles.
We
went to have a look and saw some very peculiar ones. The Elvis Presley
suit was probably the best!
