#38> The 100 Most Underwhelming Tourist Attractions in the World

One of Brussels most famous tourist attractions is the Manneken Pis. It's a tiny statue of a little boy seeing a man about a dog, so to speak. It's a close call, but it is not quite as underwhelming as Copenhagen's Little Mermaid because of it's 17th century cheekiness. Also, it is a bit closer to the center of the city, so it's easy to get to, unlike the Mermaid which is a bit out of the way. You can see by the collectible postcard below that tourists in my photo are looking for something interesting to enjoy, turning away from the blight that is Manneken Pis. I suppose if you have a liking for urology or pedophilia this is well worth a visit... You sick bastard.

So Tired> Re-pated

I am back in New Jersey now, visiting my parents for a spell while I figure out where I am moving to next. This morning my landlady came to my apartment in Prague to inspect the apartment and give me back my deposit. A long story short, I got my deposit back, but only after some strong languaged threats and some physical intimidation. I hate Prague real estate so much. My flight was pretty uninventful. Lufthansa played two chick flicks for the in-flight movies, the devil wears Prada and some shit with Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. That was painful. My mother picked me up at the airport and I noticed there was some smoke coming out from the front wheel of the car. Another long story short, we had to call AAA and my father is currently waiting (2 hours and counting) with the car one town over. I am off now to watch the Yankees first game of the playoff. Get angry boys!
