Meyboom: 'All drunks? That's not entirely false.'

It's a big day for Brussels folklore. On August 9, traditionally, the Meyboom is planted, for the 708th time this year. Since Tuesday, 17:00, the Meyboom is standing at the corner of the Broekstraat and the Zandstraat. Early in the morning, it had been chopped down in the Ter Kamerenbos. Before that, the 'buumdroegers' had their first beer. For once, BRUZZ reporter Maarten Verdoodt was one of them.
