Brussels Stories

The Easter carousel in Place de la Monnaie Muntplein (infront of the Opera).








American natives selling thier music cd and dancing infront of the Opera House.








Skate park. All ages were participating, a random mix of people watching from a set of stands. Set up as part of an art project infront of the large church Chapelle Kapellemarkt.







Old wall hidden in a back lane and built upon by the surrounding buildings.








Colourful buildings and a standard cartoon mural commonly seen around downtown brussels.






Pre-Stag night festivities. A common sight downtown Brussels, and they always pass through Grand Place. This ritual precludes going out for the night. Spiderman here was lucky, he got to wear a mask; usually the outfit includes either women's clothes or a diaper (I saw a guy later in the day in a diaper with a life-ring around his neck). The 'Stag' usually has a task: this guy had to find women to do the chicken dance with. Our friend Vince took part in one of these rituals when a woman, as part of her 'Hen' party she had to find a Vince who weighed under 100kg. Lucky for Vince he fulfiled both criteria.
