Friday 13th of august I will leave my home at 6 a.m.WITHOUT my wallet, credit cards or any cash…
“Poverty is a luxury few people can afford themselves”
I will try to spend a day in Brussels providing drinks, meals and decent living by all kind of means except working & stealing. Are permitted: collecting bottles, begging, taking profit of lavatories, public necessities, charity, traveling by bus without paying, hitchhiking…
The journey will end at midnight and will be commented on youtube during the day.
Wish me good luck, and maybe we meet in town: in that case be generous…
