Mannekin Pis with an Indonesian Traditional Costume
First time in history, the Manneken Pis, landmark and mascote of Brussels, Belgium and very popular tourist attraction wore an Indonesian traditional costume as a special gift to Indonesia (which is celebrating the 63 rd birthday).
Manneken Pis which is located at Rue de l’Etuve and Rue du Chene, Brussel was given the costume, spectated by hundreds of tourist and also Indonesian people. Nadjib Riphat as the Indonesian ambassador officially revealed the previously cloaked statue. After that then the Indonesia Raya (Song of Indonesia) was sanged while the red and white flag behind was raised.
Well this in a rare event in Brussels and Indonesian people hope that it will attract tourism to Indonesia (because Indonesia is holding a tourism year this 2008).
