Coastal Tramways

The Belgian (Flemish) coast is known for its tramways—which underwent a modernization lately, so that they are longer and can sit more and more "white heads" (i.e. old people). (Everything is new in Flanders; while Wallonia is rather derelict, as if we were still in the 1950s.) This view was taken in front of the Middelkerke Casino.

Jean-Marie Pfaff, Flemish Star

Jean-Marie Pfaff, probably the best Belgian goal keeper ever, is now what we call a BV (Bekende Vlaming, Famous Flemish). He has such a high status that he has a reality show where cameras follow him in his everyday life, along with his family in Braschaat (near Antwerp). The show is aired on VTM, a popular Flemish channel. There have been 5 seasons, and probably a 6th one as from September 2007. Anyway, in order to advertize for that show, they painted a tramway with his picture, with is arm to make as though he was giving a kiss.

What strikes me is that he has a LEFT hand instead of a RIGHT hand (look at the thumb)!!! It's a vulgar Photoshop effect, with a fake arm stitched on him… :D
