Brussels is famous for a very small statue of a 2 year old boy having a wee – and it’s called the Mannekin Pis. Quite an odd national figure really. There are many legends behind the statue (whose name is Julian). As a small boy he heard invading soldiers talk of burning or bombing the city, so he stood on the city walls and peed on the fire until it went out, thereby saving everyone. The real story is more modest. Brussels was home to many labourers, including tanners who worked with ammonia (urine) to soften skins to create leather. Along with the peeing boy, therefore, there is also a young girl, and a small dog, all captured in the act. The Mannekin Pis statue is right in the middle of Brussels, and you will find it easily as it is always surrounded by people taking photos (although it is a replica, and the real one is in the museum). Sometimes it is dressed in costume, as people from around the world create costumes for it. It is even the FULL TIME JOB of someone to dress it. And they have an assistant! hashtag betterworkstories
