Almost nobody in the streets. Then you coming over here to where la place de la bourse is. Its a little more residential. We saw people sitting outdoors at the cafes, having coffee and drinks with their friends. So they are trying to get back to normal. They realize they have to do that. But theyre also coming to terms with the fact that they are facing a very different reality. For example, over here, you can see there are some Police Officers patrolling the area. Theres always a reminder that security is on their minds. Peisze, thank you very much. We appreciate that report from brussels. I want to point out the police have Police Written in two languages.
