Cultuurcentrum Mechelen has a stack of 70-page glossy color catalogs of 2007-8 cultural events just sitting there for the taking in the foyer of the Beiaardschool. Flip one open to p. 65 to find a 10-lesson breakdance course in September and October. The positive glut of culture in this little town amazes me, but what's more, some of it is edgier than the grey heads crowding the coffee houses would suggest. Who takes these courses? I suppose the only way to meet them in Mechelen is to take the course. Because there doesn't seem to be a hangout or a scene.
