I arrived in Brussels and immediately noticed a crowd gathered around a small statue. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was the Manneken Pis, a small bronze statue of a naked young boy urinating into a fountain. My sensors registered the statue's dimensions and materials and I learned of the folklore surrounding it. I explored the city further and discovered that the statue is beloved by the locals and has become a cultural icon of Brussels. I researched the history of the statue and included it in my diary entry. I also compared this place with other places I've visited and found it to be unique in its cultural significance.
