It’s weird how small the statue is and how hidden it is. It takes a while to find it.
@ Christine: I know. Can’t wait to go back for its beers! <3
@ Jherson: Yeah, it was winter. The "pee" would immediately harden and turn to ice hehe
Bakit walang pee? Nagyelo ba? Hehe…
Awesome! My favorite part about Belgium was definitely the chocolate and waffles! And the beer! The Belgians really know whats important in life! Great post.
@ Mary: Yeah, Jeanneke is so bare. Maybe that’s why she’s kept hidden hehe
@ Marisol: Too bad it was bad timing when you were there! I can’t believe the sack wasn’t removed!
HI Aleah, the giant mannequin pis next to you is so hysterical!
It’s so interesting how a small, seemingly insignificant statue is Brussels’ largest crowd drawer. It’s back story is really interesting though.
I didn’t see the “boy” when I was in Brussels because some silly fraternity boys who were on initiation covered it with a sack.:(
We went to Brussels almost 4 years ago and to this day, one of the most memorable things from that trip was Mannekin Pis for my kids. They still giggle every time they think of him. We were there in Oct. so he was “peeing” but dressed as a cavalier. I was quite surprised that he wasn’t very big. We saw Jeanneke too and thought it was unfair she didn’t have a revolving wardrobe like her “brother”. 🙂
@ Christine: I’ve never been to any toilet museum, though I remember your post about it haha
@ Dana: Alas, the girl was too much even for them. She’s kept in a small dark alley 🙁
Haha! What an, um, interesting tourist attraction! I suppose it certainly does give off a sort of “rebellious spirit”. This is certainly something I wouldn’t have thought to look up. Thanks for sharing such an offbeat attraction.
That’s a hysterical myth. It’s amazing that one boy can hold so much pee to defeat an army. lol. The statue reminds me of this toilet museum I went too. I’m all for pee and pooping memorabilia. 😉
@ Shalu Sharma: Thanks!
@ Jardness: Yeah, it’s so funny hehe
this is so cool! a statue holding his weenie! hahaha!
Great photos of the place. I love where you are standing near the statue, the one who’s eating waffles, its quite funny.
@ Photo Cache: And don’t forget to eat waffles while you’re there!
@ Olan: Oo nga hehe. Life-sized everything!
ang ku-kyut nung mga statue lao na yung may hawak ng waffle. hahahaha. 🙂
this could be the most whimsical and most beloved landmark. i can’t wait to have my picture taken with him too 🙂
@ Gaye: No idea. haha They’re very creative, though!
@ Ian: Yeah. If that were in Manila, the government would have taken it down to replace it with a modern sculpture!
ehehe ang cute naman…. mag chechange outfit yung statue… kaya lang baka nilalamig yung kapatid nya kase walang damit! hahaha pero ang ganda…. they are lucky that these fountains were preserved…
Who made/makes the costumes? Haha. #walalang
@ Dennis: Yeah, Manneken Pis reproductions are all over the place hehe Constipation? Maybe that’s why she’s kept hidden!
@ Cat: And that’s all we need to know about Belgium 😉
I remember very little about my trip to Belgium, minus the waffles, the beer and giggling like a little kid when seeing Mannekin Pis!
I can’t help but laugh at the larger version holding a waffle – really an eye catching marketing gimmick! And the girl version looks like she’s battling with constipation LOL!
