My first card of Belgium was from zoeza (Belgium X World RR, Group 32): the cute statue of Manneken Pis. The card came with a legend of the statue: "In the 12th century, the troops of this two-year-old lord were battling against the troops of Berthouts. The troops put the infant lord in a basket and hung the basket in a tree to encourage them. From there, the boy urinated on the troops of the Berthouts, who eventually lost the battle."I was lucky enough to see the statue myself in December 2009 and it is really cute :)
