Favorite (place in the) city
My favourite place is the mural artwork "Chaque matin elle a tout oublié", by the artist Lieven Segers, which is located at Kipdorp 62. Maybe because every time I pass by it the phrase takes on a different meaning, maybe because the first time I passed by it I didn't see it, and now it has become part of my everyday life.
