Crossing people
"Is this the way to the train station?"
"euh....euh yes, continue strait ahead in that direction"
The lady from the butcher is washing the windows after the shop has been closed for the day.
A couple walks by the bookstore. When they've just walked by, the girl pulls his arm resulting in a big turn of them both when she points to one of the books in the window.
"Pfff il fait chaud ici dans le bureau"
"oui, c'est vrai, très chaud"
"It's not busy right now, I can help you until I get a new customer" says the post office employee while she sits down at the desk next to me and starts sticking stamps to part of my pile of envelops.
"Oh wow, thank you that's so nice of you"
"Those sticker stamps are quite fast to use huh"
"euh, yes yes, easy"
...
"I think there's somebody at your desk now"
"oh yes, bye"
"We have to search the family name marked on this statue" says the girl holding the quiz book to her husband who's already staring at the the big sitting posture of the former local industrial Rémy.
A big group of KSA youth (a well known youth organization) is gathered in a big circle on the square chanting songs to each other while being observed at some distance by a group of tourists.
2 families with little children sit down at the park for a pick-nick.
Another group of people arrives at a woman on a bench who welcomes them and starts explaining them a game in which they seem involved for the next 2 hours and that will use boules.
**************
So many people on their way, each with their own story, goal, direction, .... Amazing when you start to think about how many paths you cross on a simple walk through the city.

I still do that.
Lovely.
I do love Belgian beer though—Hoegaarden is my favourite!
