It's fantastic! I'll forward this to my Japanese friends, who would be crazy about the tower (you may know something about "A dog of Flanders"?)

Thanks for the nice words. I know that the story called "a Dog of Flanders" is incredibly popular in Japan, but completely unknown here in Belgium. Many inhabitants of Antwerp are amused and surprised to find countless Japanese tourists trying to find their way to a not very interesting part of the city, not knowing what this place means for the Japanese visitors.

In my country, the Netherlands, we have a similar phenomenon with the, in America, famous story of Hansje Brinker. Nobody has heard of that story in the Netherlands.
