Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

Bruges, Belgium, 2006. Walking around, taking pictures of the Mannekin Pis, when all of a sudden, BAM! A "Kwak" sign appears in front of me. No, not advertising the greatness of the surname Kwak (coincidentally my last name), but a beer brand! Oh, the cleverness of the Belgians. Kwak comes with its own wooden stand, and the glass it's poured into is a masterpiece in of itself. Pauwel Kwak had a unique glass blown (it has a flared top and round bottom) so that the coachmen during his time could hang them on their vehicles. Innovative, no?
