Brussels-Who decides which costume you wear today?

Description

Who decides which costume you wear today?

The name comes from Old Dutch Bruocsella — settlement in the swamp. That morning something was still not right. But I did it anyway. Then I looked at the north, and started to walk, following the north star.

I arrived at the Grand Place. The heartbeat of Brussels, which is the heart of Europe.

I had never seen these transparent biggggg orbs floating in the air, with naked eyes. Immense breathing air bubbles.

That was Steve. A street artist dressed like a fool. Golden suit, white make-up. On the floor near him, a cardboard: Money for Travelling.

I said: come wander with me.

A restaurant I had wanted to see for a long time. And now I was walking there with a fool in a golden suit. La Fin de Siècle.

No credit card accepted. Only cash. The waiter with the moustache told the whole story around the Brugse Zotten — the Fools of Bruges.

We raised our beers and said: to life, to life, and to Life. Something to drink about.

It was small, but mighty. And what I was looking at was not even him. Where is your original?

Here is a girl who has no costume at all. Naked. She never had one. There is only one. She cannot be stolen.

There is an ocean under the girl. And a museum under the boy.

He is the river. And no one sees it. What did you bury, to keep your streets clean?

A day of miracles with a fool. That was my gift.
