Where in the World is Gary? #7

This new series is a throwback to the game, “Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?” I will give a brief description of a place, including its latitude and longitude and several “interesting” facts about the location. I will also try to include a picture or two from my visit to the place. You, the reader, can then hazard a guess to answer the question posed in the game.

I will reveal the correct location on the following day. Hopefully, this type of post will encourage interaction and perhaps stimulate comments. Good Luck!

The answer to yesterday’s place (#6) is Beijing, China

Where in the World is Gary? #7

Latitude — 50º 51′ North

Longitude — 4º 21′ East

This city serves as the capital of the European Union. It is also the headquarters of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). The symbol of the city is a statue of a small boy peeing! Manneken Pis

This city’s main square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is covered with flowers (Begonias) every other year in August.
