Statue

Random statue of a guy on a horse. Apparently how the horse is standing (among other things) indicates how the person died.

Bust

Bust of a dude outside of the big Cathedral. I think there was a sign explaining who he was, and why he was important, but i don't remember.

Random flea market I found...lots of cool arts and crafts and useless things that I would normally buy a ton of. Its a good thing I don't have a lot of packing space!

Flea Market

Statue in the middle of the plaza where the flea market was.

Flea Market

Tin Tin!

Brussels is apparently known for comics...another thing I didn't know before coming here!
