Everyone smiling in the Brussels tram!

Everyone smiling in the tram or metro is not something we see every day in Brussels. A short film titled Merci alias Bodhisattva in metro is a must see video! 🙂  The project was shot in Brussels in 2003 but is still popular on YouTube. Depicting daily situation in which most people look gloomy (if not depressed) this movie shows the often unexpected and underrated power of a smile and laughing. Simply, positive energy is contagious.

Jan Hammenecker plays “the laughing guy” and is authored by Christine Rabette. We invite you to take a look at the video and to think – would you try experimenting like that in the Brussels tram or metro?
