Standing on the Belgian side and facing the Netherlands. You can see where the Netherlands stops maintaining the nice road and Belgium have a plain road. No hard border, no checkpoints or anything
amazing to live like this ,freedom is power and to live in such a beautiful place with good people and many advantages there , then you just keep living there 😻😻 happily ..
I lived near a border crossing growing up . There was guards watching but they was only there in case of a problem very seldom did they stop anyone most of the time it was only to say welcome and have a good day.
Now 40 years later you need a passport just to cross the bridge either way. Very sad ,these changing times.
I grew up on the border of the Ontario and Quebec provinces in Canada and I swear the Ontario side would over maintain their side to make the Quebec side look bad.
@JimboSaturn My Parents were both US Foreign Service so I think we were restricted where we could live. I believe they just took over the apartment from their predecessors but I was just a kid when we lived there, it was a nice place though. We moved to Montreal when I was 10.
There used to be a joke when I was young (in the 1950s and 60s) that the roads from Germany into Holland, Belgium and France were poorly maintained outside Germany to slow the tanks down.
@msros When I drive on holiday from Norway to the UK I usually don't stop at a border post until I get to Dunkerque after driving over 1 600 km through seven countries.
@ninalanyon I love Norway ❤️ yes for a long time I only knew I left one country and entered another because it said that data roaming charge were on but now we don't even need that
@Jackaloftheazuresand I'll take this insignificance any day if it continues delivering safe schools, affordable healthcare and education, excellent public services and freedom to travel 👍
@Iwillwait it's not the only border between the countries. It's just the border between two small villages but yes, I'd have expected the US to still make a 10 lane highway out of principal 🤣
