Thanks for this Paka,
I was in this station in Belgium many years ago.
it is an incredible building with a beautiful dome in iron and glass.
In February 2009, the American newspaper 'Newsweek' found that the station deserved a 4th place as world's most beautiful station.

The video was fun indeed; loved the expressions on the peoples faces.... :D :D

There is a TV ad campaign for T-mobile...same thing done in train stations in London, and the most recent trafalgar square, most people hanging around are 'in on' the video...secret performers. :-$ but certainly innocent bystanders are there to give it that realness, well made though.

Nice one, Paka and BM. I'd like to do that at Waterloo station on a Monday morning but I'd probably get my head kicked in.

I was impressed at the scale of the production. Lots of rehearsals for the lage cast. This would have cost a bundle. I had wondered who had the money to pay for this...now I know: A telecom company. Who else?

John C. Dvorak linked to a simiar, but in my view performace on his webiste, under the heading "Giant Publicity Stunt Annoys Travelers at Antwerpen’s Centraal Station"

I always like Julie Andrews, though I never really knew why. Certainly this is one of the best "Avant
Garde" (as we called it in the '60's/

It certainly does old chum, although I admit I did enjoy both videos so I must be a bit of a twerp as well (ooh, left myself wide open there!).

Here's one of a 'spontaneous' dance at a wedding. Now I'm going to my cousin's wedding in August, so plenty of time to practice, I just need some other twerps to assist. It might freak out the guests seeing a one-legged four-eyed dwarf dancing to Fame, though.
