Grateful recognition for "De Kotmadam"

Post by E Pericoloso Sporgersi »

On the "Oude Markt" (Old Marketplace) in Leuven, Belgium, there is a nice statue named "De Kotmadam" (The Landlady).

But not just any landlady. She represents the ubiquitous student's room's landlady. Ubiquitous because Leuven harbours a large university (50000+ students). Students' landlady because she's always ready to support her students with a cup of coffee.

A pity my daughter spent her Erasmus year in Copenhagen instead of Leuven ! :D
