You might have though that this fountain of a little boy, Mannekin Pis, was just some cheesy piece of kitsch found at the KMart lawn and garden center. In fact, it is arguably the national symbol of Begium, and is on view just one block away from of Brussels' Famous Grand Place. It is a little known fact that tucked away in a nearby alley is another fountain featuring a little girl peeing called Geneke Pis.
