Brussels' most visited site, together with Grand Place, is the Manneken Pis. Many travellers are also familiar with Jeaneke Pis (the peeing little girl), but almost nobody knows that Bruxellers installed another sculpture with the same (peeing) idea.
It's the Zinneke, a dog! Zinneke in Brussels dialect means someone of mixed origins, symbolizing the mixture of populations living in Brussels.
To me, this sculpture is a funny spot to show to friends, a laugh, a way to explain Brussels, the city with so many contrasts but that loves to laugh about them. My hard drive is full of pictures of my friends and me mocking the position of the dog, so you've got to try it!
