Happy prostate day everyone. Today one of our most famous monuments, Manneken Pis, is dripping to celebrate this. We also recently invited the artist Paul Mccarthy over to present his huge inflatable art ... like a huge Santa holding a dildo. After the open air museum of middelheim near Antwerp, he's coming to the SMAK in Ghent where they're tearing walls down to make 'it' all fit. Oh and we also renovated our aluminium balls monument. It finally shines again like it once used to. Don't believe those rumours about Belgium being on the verge of crumbling, we're standing proud!
The penis fixation doesn't only influence our cultural patrimony, it also penetrates our every day lives. At least that's what I noticed when I scrolled through the pictures I took during the last few weeks.

Gotta lube chocolate (candy shop in the main train station of Ghent) | Think global, act local. Want a sip of coke? Contains an extra secret Belgian ingredient. Taste the coke side of belgium!  |

Verdikke... jammer dat ik die niet gezien heb gisteren in St. Pietersstation. Was daar met een vriendin en ik had haar dat kunnen kopen als 'aandenken aan Gent'.
Ben er zeker van dat ze die in het verre Harelbeke niet hebben.! En als ik het goed begrijp moet ik binnenkort naar het SMAK voor de illustere kerstman... ;-)
Groetjesssssssssssssss
