I remember the Jacquemart clock. The 12 figurines represent important historic and folkloric figures of Brussels. It was built for the 1958 World’s Fair that Brussels hosted. And YES I want to see you dressed like that 😂
Wow! They built a lot of things for the 1958 world’s fair in Brussels. The Atomium is another amazing installation. But that’s for another video. Do you remember anything from Brussels you really enjoyed that stands out in your memory?
You really only scratched the surface of Brussels. So much more to see. The Art Nouveau, le Petit Sablon, Place de jeu de Bal. Brussels is far more than the Gran Place.
@@deborahgriffith7476 Agreed! We’ll have to come back someday and see even more. We had a wonderful time during our stay 🥰🫶 Thanks for watching and taking the time to come say hi! We hope you have a lovely Holiday season ahead 👨❤️💋👨
Thanks so much! I’m working on an episode as we speak! Lol. Really appreciate you watching and leaving a comment. It means so much. 👨❤️💋👨🎉🥳 Have a fabulous weeeeeeeek. ^_^
Thanks so much, Rose! Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment such kind words ^_^ And I think you hit the nail on the head with the art topic. It really comes down to respect. I really like how some cities have special areas for graffiti artists to practice their craft. I’ve seen a few and it’s really unique. We hope you have a wonderful week! I think you’re really going to like next week’s video as we explore the comic route where they have installed over 80 murals across the streets of Brussels. 🎨🖼️🖌️
5:36 Those are actually pictures of the Royal family of Belgium. the first one you see the current King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of the Belgians with their first born, Crownprincess Elisabeth, and in the second picture you see Queen Fabiola, wife of the late King Baudouin which is the uncle of the current king.
I love your videos. Like colors and cute things for Kimball, your videos always make me smile. Thanks for sharing your travels. Honestly you could just be doing nothing and you'd be fun to watch. Looking forward to next week's episode already. I think as an artist, it is a little more close to home when you see that someone has defaced creativity. I'm less offended when I see graffiti that totally changes the ordinary into extraordinary. Yes, it comes from a place of respect, doesn't it? Is what you're doing making it better or worse? It is quite clear that branding any works of art meant for the populace is a selfish and arrogant endeavor.
Only you guys will bump into a Church with a swing inside!!! WTF!?.. that was so randome and wierd... The wall art with the scribble was breathtaking!..... Thanks for sharing
I still wish I’d gone in to swing. When I’m on my deathbed and the priest asks me if I have had any regrets in life, this will pop to the top, I’m sure.
Little story - Atelier en Ville where you had your coffee used to be a party venue with the best gay party on Sunday: le Cabaret. I'm talking real clubbing, drag queens on stilts and good ol' house music. It's funny that it became another random coffee bar with brownies and carrot cake. If these walls could talk! 😏
@@nadiaboulanger9323 Hey! It’s so lovely to meet you 🥰 Thanks for watching and taking the time to come say hi. We were quite surprised at how large and quirky Brussels was.

@@Dutchbelg3 lol oh my lord. One time I was at a sandwich place in my home town. The woman making my sandwich was Asian and she stopped mid build, looked up at me fiercely and said, “If they make movie about JESUS! You PLAY JESUS!!!” I have this one white shirt in wear. Every time I wear it, I get a Jesus comment. I haven’t pulled that shirt out for a long time lol.
Scroodles & The Others is the story of a young orphan living in a curtain factory, with a terrible secret. Most of the book is comprised of her uttering her catchphrase "I see a motor car", which is at first cute, but by chapter 32 begins to feel a bit belabored and redundant. Overall, a fine story about a lonely child and her drapery, weighed down by the author's curious decision to make her a child mechanic with a maniacal obsession with velvet. ⭐ ⭐
@@L-Katz it’s SO lovely to meet you L-Katz 🥰 And, oh my goodness, thank you for the story breakdown of Scroodles & The Others. I don’t know if I’m more curious now, or simply bewildered.

Belgian chocolates - such a delicious piece of historic colonism and slavery :P Next, Grumpy Kimball: the Smurfs (my nostalgic shit): the Freedom little people and a blond girl living in the iconic kaboouter vliegenzwam mushroom (fly agaric or fly amanita) a psychadelic/hallucigen - Druïd magic and mythology aspects. The Phrygian cap/Liberty cap, the blue skin like the celtic warriors, and the pants of the barbaric Germanic tribes, Zwerge (little people; Pixies, Fairies, Gnomes, Dwarfs: Sweden - Vikings), got to love the codings in the art being all about freedom. Love how Rocky Bob sets Kimballs cold soul aflame. Agree, sparkling water tastes like they added battary acid, yuck. Moi = Me Ha -> half a haha Even that graffiti is a statement - graffiti goes back to ancient times... But I agree it is a little disrespecting to the art that is underneath. That makes Kimball very gallisch. {Gaulish, not ghoulish] Asterix and Obelix are Gaulish (Celtic), the Belgae where also Gaulish but a different tribe, they got the smurfs... . There is still so much Roman aspects and influence in the current post modern city....
Oh my gawd I just laughed so loud at the Rocky Bob sets Kimball’s cold soul aflame 🤣 It’s funny because I’m basically editing new vlogs anytime I’m not working at my job, so often times it’s like, “Wait…What f-ing episode was this?”
@@RockyandKimball That's the side effect of catching new viewers in your web, what string was vibrating now... sounded like an G-sharp. ☺ I saw a new one uploaded on Amsterdam a few hours ago, still have to check it out.
lol don’t judge too harshly. Although, we do visit a few things I thought were non-touristy, but I’m sure they’re still considered touristy to locals lol. Whatever! We do what inspires us and live in the moment. Then, I relive those moments again and again and again while editing lmao. The past and present are all blurring together, k bye. 🫠
@@RockyandKimball It's not judging, just stating. Also there is hardly escaping it - it's what they are known for. Put your hands on your hip, and pull your knees in tight, and if it looks like this then you are doing it right. And with the pelvic thrust let your mind go insane... lets to the time warp again...
Such a dull city to live. Administrative mess, unsafe, full of men and women sleeping in tte street even during winter. Nice to visit but definitely not good to live in...if you love city vibe!
@@mr6sg Hey! It’s so lovely to meet you. That’s disappointing to hear. We saw a bit of this when we were there but it’s always hard to capture the real essence of a city as a visitor travelling. Brussels definitely had a harder edge to it and, among the cities we visited, felt like the city I needed to be most on guard while visiting. But we still loved it. 🥰 Thanks for taking the time to come chat. I hope you’ll come back and hang out again sometime 👨❤️💋👨
I’ve lived here for 30 years, and I LOVE it! I agree that we have a homelessness problem, because the egocentric male mayors don’t talk to each other. Also, all the head honcnos in the civil administration are males, so no wonder it’s such a mess! However, it is a vibrant, diverse city with green spaces everywhere, cultural events all the time, and great publlic transport. If you find Brussels dull that’s a you problem. Either that or you live in Uccle.
@deborahgriffith7476 no not really a 'me' problem. More a cultural one. I come from a country where cities are really vibrant, non-stop never closing shops, malls, bakeries. I see that people that come from places where life sucks tend to adore Brussels. It's a question of perspective and experiences. Besides the issue of homelessness and precarious social conditions need to be understood under a more ample light which is the internal division of the country and the increasingly surge of the Flemish right wing. But let's be honest, Brussels is not the funniest cities with the niciest people, unless you beer 24/7.
