Saint Louis is pronounced as "Sen Looee" in French, so different than American Saint Louis. Also interesting about this place is that Basel Airport is located in France, the road between Basel and the airport is not connected to the rest of France, and you do not cross the border legally when you use this road (Switzerland in not in the EU). At the same time there is railway station Basel Badischer Bahnhof which is a property of Deutsche Bahn and is technically German territory. During the Nazi times it was used to sent letters abroad by circumventing intelligence as they were not allowed to touch Swiss mail boxes on this station. Very interesting place.

Yuriy N. It's spelled exactly the same way which is why she said it this way. When I first came to Basel I did a double take on the tram saying Saint Louis; than I remembered American St Louis was settle by the French.

I have you beat (kind of)... When I did my first trip to Europe (as a bus tour), I had breakfast in London, lunch on a French ferry (Dover to Calais), dinner in Belgium, and went to bed in Netherlands... Another thing I have done was in Latvia at a restaurant that prices / weight, I served myself exactly 200g of dumplings (in multiple flavours)... :)

i am so happy you went to basel! thats where i live!!!!! 🇨🇭

Basel is where I'm living and it's easy to do that. I went to Saint Louis and Weil am Rhein (I hope I spelled this right) and the area around there. It's interesting the point of view from another American that is living in a country other than Switzerland. Generally Switzerland doesn't have a lot fire hydrants. Their fire hydrants is underground. The yellow trams are not from BVB (city trams). From my understanding the yellow trams and buses go into the country side of Switzerland. The metric system is pretty easy. 1 kilogram is 1,000 grams or about 2.2 lbs. So 1/2 a kilo is 500 grams or 1.1 lbs. A little less than a 1/4 of a pound is 100 grams.

so we are three subscribers from the area. I'm living in Germany and come over to work daily. when there was still a customs control a couple of years ago, once I drove over the customs quite fast without even realising I was crossing the border, then came back as a pedestrian to go for a walk next to the river (it was in Rheinfelden on the old bridge). the customs officer asked me, whether I alway drove over the border like that. and only then I realised, what I had been doing! :-)

For us living in this area, it's just normal to go to the two other countries in one day. By the way: - The green trams (even if there is a different shade of green) are those of the BVB (www.bvb.ch) - The yellow trams are those of the BLT (www.blt.ch) - And the purple one was just an advertising. You may rent just the small bars, a place on the window or a whole tram for your ad and they put your ad on it for a specified amount of time. - And there are also red busses by the Südbaden Bus (GmbH, I think?) Yes, it is a bit complicated, but as long as line and direction match your needs, just go in it. They use all the same tariffs. And our pharmacy sign is also the green cross. This red A could be a branch of a german one.

As said, the BVB is green, the yellow is the BLT; public transport is run mostly by regional government companies, and Basel is devided between the city canton and the land canton for historical reasons, each with their own company, but with a lot of cooperation, such as cooperating on maintenance, using eachothers tracks and buying rolling stock together to get a better deal. As in the most parts of Germany, there is a tariff union that allows you to just take whatever you need to get to your destination with your ticket, including buses, trains and trams. And as a border city, they even manage to have agreements with neighbouring cities in France and Germany, the Swiss tram goes to the St Louis border and soon to the city centre, and it goes to Weil in Germany as well. Quite a lot of people working is Basel live in Germany or France, because wages are higher in Basel while housing is cheaper outside. I can totally feel why you thought Switzerland is expensive, yesterday, I had to pass through Switzerland back home, and also the train to Cologne was a Swiss one, with Swiss catering and thus Swiss prices. It was an excellent cappucinno, but €4,50 is not something I'm used to pay, especially after a week in Italy, where it was perhaps €1,20 or €1,50. It's a beautiful country, though.

Taking a ferry across Lake Constance you are in three countries at the same time.^^

I'm so glad you two have started doing more videos together! OMG! SOOO CUTE!

In Boston, our trams have a green-centric color scheme. but it's due to our public transit system being color-coded. Yellow is the buses and Silver is one specific inner city bus line. Then , there are the subways. Red goes down the southern side of the Boston inlet, Blue goes up the northern (Going through subway tunnels, under the harbor, and out in the open air for a large stretch. The Blue Line's unique because for half of it's route, it gets power from a third rail system, and changes at Logan Airport to a tram like pantograph system for the last six stops.), and above ground for many of it's stops with , Orange goes out to the east, and the purple is the commuter rail trains.

Haha, so weird to see my hometown on this channel! Come back in the summer, my dears!

Since I live near Basel ( on the German side), I do the 3 coutry trip lots of times. The Basel airport is actually in France, but you can cross the border inside the airport terminal, even though you are still on french soil (now isn't that confusing)

Those fire hydrants are so weird!! Thanks for the pictures! Yeah, I cannot do weights at all; I'm clueless too! Lol :)

Easy way to remember gram weight in the metric system: 1 gram=1 American paper clip. Celsius: 0c=freezing, 100c=boiling: 10= too cold, 20=perfect, 30=too hot. Those tricks have helped me a lot! Thanks for posting the wonderful video!

I, an American, lived in Basel for a year, about 4 years ago. We did our grocery shopping in Germany whenever possible. The VAT more than covered the conversion rate. One day, we walked from our place just outside Basel's Altstadt to St. Louis, France, across the Rhine to Weil-am-Rhein, Germany and then back home again. It's completely doable. We visited Basel last year. I miss it very much, even though it is crazy expensive.

Guten Tag Dana und Stephan. I'm French and I'm married with a russian wife. We did a 3 country in one day. We were in Barcelona, Spain, last summer, and we crossed 2 borders to come back to France, we crossed the small State of Andorra. I bought diesel for the can there, because it was only 89 cents instead of around 1,30 euros. We also stopped in a shop and because we don't smoke nor drink, nothing was a bargain. We also went to Switzerland some years ago and I drove all around the Geneva lake. We bought nothing in there, because the price are too expensive. In Geneva, my then brand new Peugeot 5008 really appeared like a third level car.

Welcome to Basel, it is my beautiful hometown! We call the region "Dreiländereck" (Three countries corner.) As live in China now, seeing the pictures of where I grew up and hearing your experience really touched me. You noticed so many small details in the differences of th three countries, such as the Pharmacy signs. I have lived in France but never noticed the difference!

beautiful cup . where can we get one . love your videos

Three countries, one day: on a bike trip, from Thionville, France, to Rodemack, France, to Nennig, Germany, and across the Moselle to Remich, Luxembourg. Green crosses for pharmacies are also in Italy.

Whuuuut? I've never seen one of those red pharmacy-signs in Basel or anywhere in Switzerland, only the green crosses like the ones you saw in France. About the trams: there are two companies with different tram lines, the BVB (Basler Berkehrsbetriebe) which mostly does the lines inside the city, and the BLT (Baselland Transport AG) which mostly does the lines from the city to the places around the city. The BVB has green trams and the BLT has yellow trams. But there are whole trams with advertising, hence the different colours.

When I was in Europe I went through 4 countries; Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, and France. I started in Cologne and went through Maastricht and Liege before arriving in Paris.

im living in aachen, of course i was in more than one country in one day :D netherlands, belgium and germany

Hey Dana and Stefan, many yeras ago, I went with my parents on one day from Oy-Mittelberg in the Allgäu to Vaduz/Liechtenstein. From there to St. Gallen/Switzerland, from there to Bregenz/Austria an back to Oy-Mittelberg. So that were four countries in one day.

3 countries in one day on a train trip from Geneva to Barcelona is my modest record. I recall a spot in the Basel train station where you can stand on the intersection of 3 countries you talk about.

I was in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium on the same day. My cousin, my uncle and I went to an amusement park in Belgium and we went trough the Netherlands to get there.

Yes i can estimate. I used to work in a dr office. I think guessing and getting close to amounts is important.

So jealous you get to travel so much. Though, I love that you share all of it in your videos! My dtr & I would love to go to France some day! I took a tinny bit of French in high school & got the bug. My daughter though(who is only 8) has been talking for the past year &1/2 bout France & wanting to go. Never knowing I had taken any French or had the desire to go one day. Super crazy right!! She collects ANYthing that has French lingo OR logo type stuff on it. I hope to be able to take her some day when she's older. Also, can't wait to show her this video bc we are from St. Louis, MO!! Thanks for the great video. I like the comparison aspect of it all. Bonne chance in all your travels 🖒Sincerely, J.P.

Glad to hear you talking about the crazy prices in Switzerland. People don't always understand when I say that. Also Dana- is your hairstyle different in this?

I started a day trip in Müstair, Switzerland then went to Austria and to the Tirol region of northern Italy.

Yes! My husband and stepdaughter and I drove through six countries in one day! Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany. I made a workbook for my stepdaughter (she was 7 at the time) with a map, flags, and some interesting monuments, so it was fun and a little bit educational. The whole trip took us less than 24 hours. Another time we did Germany, France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria and back to Germany.

I love how cute you are together! (Not being sarcastic, you both brighten my day)

We are living in this area since 29years... Actually we went for shopping from germany to Basel and returned via France and due to traffic in the end we noticed that we crossed border 5 times... and of course just drive through without control. Regarding dialect: the alsacienne dialect is a german dialect which sounds not too different that swiss german - the same applies for the german dialect in that region. all three rather similar (but people from the area will probably disagree ;-) )

When moving from Belgium to Germany and when helping my brother move back from France to Germany I've been to Belgium, Germany and France ^^

I once went from Germany to Romania by bus, crossing the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary before arriving at Romania. The journey took 24 hours and I was dead afterwards. But hey, we did 5 countries and 1200 km in one day!

Only yesterday from the island of Sardinia to mainland Italy via Switzerland and Austria to Germany. On the ferry we have also seen France (Corsica) and later passes Lichtenstein on the other side of the Rhine river. No border control at all.

I used to live closed to Luxembourg and Belgium, yes I seen all 3 countries in one day from France.

This last time I was in Europe, we left Chur, Switzerland, drove through Lichenstein, drove through Austria, ended up in Germany for lunch and dinner and went to New Swan Castle (neuscwanstein? It's close, my German is still bad), and stayed that night in Salzburg. So, 4 countries in one day, crossed the boarder 6 times (took a wrong turn in Germany on the way to the castle and ended up back in Austria). A few days later, We crossed from Opatija, Croatia into Slovenia, stopped off in Venice, Italy, for a few hours, then stayed that night in Verona A few days after that, started in Chur, Switzerland again, and drove to Nice, France, which of course takes us through Italy. Living in Salzburg, I flew in and out of the Munich airport a few times. So once I flew from Thessolinika, Greece into Munich, and then train to Salzburg. Then once I took the shuttle from Salzburg to Munich, flew to Atlanta, and switched planes to Dallas, so Austria, Germany and USA in one day First time ever to Europe, I left the US and flew into Brussels, drove through Luxemburg, to Trier, Germany. So four countries that day. I have also flown from the US into London and changed flights to Zurich, but as I didn't leave the airport, I don't think you can really said that I was in the UK on that day.

When you live in Switzerland it's quite normal to visit two or three countries at the same time. For example, if you cross the border between Germany and Switzerland at the "Dreiländereck" in the northeast of Switzerland, you have to pass through St. Margrethen (CH), Bregenz (A) and Lindau (D). That's the normal route by car or by train. But before I moved to Switzerland, I was as excited as you every time I traveled through several countries in one day. That's something very special for someone who doesn't live in a border region I think :)

and I have to add, that one if the yellow trams ( der 10er) is the longest tramline in Europe at least, and there are two tramlines crossing the border, number 8 to Germany and Nr. 3 to France.

5 coutries in one day: We startet in Germany (Niederrhein) drove through the Netherlands, Belgium to France. And there we took the train to Great Britian. It was confusing because after driving through the different countries with different speed limites we had to drive on the left at the end. But on the other side it was an amazing day!

I grew up in Lörrach, it's next to Basel on the German side. So I was often in 3 countrys in one day.

I have only been in two countries on the same day before. However, I have stood in four states of the US at once. My right foot was in Utah and Arizona, and my left foot was in Colorado and New Mexico when we went to the Four-Corners Monument. However, I am *excellent* at estimating weights and volumes. I can go to any produce section and pile a pound of anything into a bag and get it within an ounce or two every time. When I was in culinary school all the other students would come to me with a pot or bowl of something and ask me, "Will this fit in this container?" The others were always mesmerized by that skill.

I once drove to London by car. We started in Berlin and drove through Belgium, Luxembourg and France.

I've been to 3 countries a day several times and I think a lot of other germans also did. Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Belgium, Netherlands, ..... - I often had a combination of 2-4 of those countries in one day or at least at the same weekend.

I haven't but you could drive from France to Canada to United States in one day - just. You begin your journey very early in the morning in St. Pierre, France. You ride the ferry to Fortune, Canada. You drive the fastest you can to Port-aux-Basques to ride the ferry to North Sidney. Then you really don't lose any time driving to Calais, Maine. There you go. Now, you're probably arriving there, like, at 11:59 PM but... still.

I've done 3 countries in one day several times. Germany-Netherlands-Belgium and also Germany-France-Spain.

There are 2 different public transport-companies in Basel. There is BVB (with the green trams which commute mostly in Basel Stadt) and the BLT (with the yellow-red trams which commute mostly between the city center and Basel Land) I think (but I'm not 100% sure) the purple tram was an advert on the tram. Which means, it's a normal tram, but companies can buy the look of the tram and use it for their advert.

Actually he's correct for the 3 fingers. In American Sign-Language he would be saying "3" you would be saing "W".

From where I live, I can visit four countries in a day. I can drive into France (Alsace), back into Germany to the Bodensee (Lake Constance). Driving around the lake I will pass Switzerland and Austria, before I‘m back in Germany.

Each January we go on a skiing trip, starting in Germany, crossing Austria on the way, and arriving in Italy. As the speed limits are different and the Austrian police is very strict, we really concentrate on the question "Where are we right now?". However, crossing the countries is an experience I personally enjoy every time we go there.

Being from St. Louis (the US one), I can't help but notice every time I see something named "Saint Louis" here in Paris! I feel like this is even more reason for me to visit Saint-Louis the city sometime 😜

Go to Italy! Go from München through Salzburg Republik Österreich, travel by train through the mountains, three countries, one day! ;)

In Austria we also have the green pharmacy signs😋☺️

I've never been in three countries in 1 calendar day (unless you count airport layovers, which I don't) but I have been in three countries in 24 hours a couple of times, once Italy, Austria, Germany & once Netherlands, Belgium, France

Well, as we're using the metric system in Sweden, yes I can kind of estimate weight. And the other question, If I don't count driving through Europe (from France via Belgium, Holland, Germany, Denmark to Sweden on the same day or driving from Sweden, via Denmark, through Germany to Luxemburg to a Kraftwerk concert in 2002) I once woke up in Düsseldorf, had lunch in Brussels and dinner in Paris. Oh, I've also made the France - Andorra - Spain - France road trip and I think we did Germany - Switzerland - Italy back when I was younger. That's the beauty of Europe, everything is very close!

Argentina (Iguazú), Brazil (Foz do Iguazú) and Paraguay (Ciudad del Este) the same day, although it takes more than one hour to go from one city to the next. Since the border between them is a river right outside the National Park Iguazú (which is located in Argentina and in Brazil) it is possible to change countries just rowing a boat.

Yep, I can guessamate weight in Oz. We always did baking as a kid, without scales as they were broken.

Have you just been on tv?? Im convinced it was you but never knew you did some tv stuff :D

One month from now (honeymoon!) I will be in 3 countries in one day: Colmar France, Lucerne Switzerland, and Vicenza Italy

I did a bicycle tour with my 12 year old daughter around the lake Constance, and guess where she urgendly needed ice cream? 6 Franken (about 7 euro) a scoop.

Dana, you should get a kitchen scale and some light-weight measuring cups and measure out 100 mL of water, 200, 400, and 1000 mL. Look at them. Remember that when you lift each, it is 100, 200, 400, and 1000 grams. Then you will have educated your arm on metric weights.

The trams in the city of Basel are green. the yellow ones are from a different company that's operating in the neighbouring district (Basel city is its own district) and all the other ones are just huge advertising signs that are in the colors of the company that rents them for their ad, except the red/blue one which is in the colors of the local football club ...

I live close to St. Louis and it is known more for BBQ pork steaks. Kansas City MO, on the other side of the state, is known more for ribs.

I'm not sure but I believe the red pharmacy signs in Basel are pretty unique in Switzerland. It's usualy a green cross with the Aesculapian snake.

Fun Tashy yes it's usually the green cross except it isn't animated like France.

Now I want to see a video called Dana vs the Metric system, where Dana has to figure out the various weights and volumes of items. Honestly, once you have good reference points it's easy, so you know how much a 1kg bag of rice/flour/sugar is or a 500g bag and then you can say your object feels close to one. It's hard to be exact but I presume Dana didn't think the cup weighed 10kg or 100kg

I've never seen this red A in Switzerland. It's always the green sign but not flashing.

Have done 6 in one day, France, Switzerland, Germany Luxembourg, Belgium and England.

Don't the pharmacies in Prague, Lekarna, have green crosses too?

I've seen the green cross pharmacy symbol used in Greece, Spain and some islands of the Caribbean. It's actually very convenient to have a common symbol for a pharmacy. It would make sense for Basel to use the "A" symbol for pharmacy, like Germany, since Swiss-German is the common language in Basel and I'm guessing the "A" stands for Apotheke. I wonder what symbol is used for pharmacies in Switzerland's French-speaking areas? And now, I think I'm going to have some barbecued ribs for dinner.

I live in St. Louis in the US and we do have a lot of BBQ places. Oddly though, I never eat at any of them. There's a lot of great food here.

Green Basel trams/buses: operated by the bvb (Basel city canton transport), the yellow ones are operated by bls (Basel country canton transport). All other colours are ads taken out by companies or the soccer club. Also, common question: been to four counties in one day : Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria and Germany

Dear Dana, next time you should definitely visit other places in the Alsace region of France. Saint-Louis is in Alsace too, but it doesn't feel like that. Check out beautiful Strasbourg, Colmar, Riquewihr or Kaysersberg, have some alsace wine and enjoy :) I used to live in Strasbourg and the city was much more expensive than Berlin. Even there in the area everybody knew that Germany is way cheaper than France. People from St-Louis go shopping in Weil am Rhein. So if you say that Saint-Louis was normal for you, I guess Munich must be very expensive for Germany ;) Nice video! LG

Nice to hear you were here! The trams of the BVB (Basler VerkehrsBetriebe) are green, whereas the ones of the BLT (BaselLandTransport) are yellow. Basel Stadt and Baselland are two cantons and they don‘t share their public transport company (which nobody understands because it‘s nonsense). But many of the lines cross canton borders. All the other tram colours are just advertisements in the colour of the company that pays for it. There are only few of them. And some are in red and blue which are the colours of the FCB (FC Basel), and a lot of people and the government are crazy about them, and that‘s a way to say thank you. And there are French and German bus lines as well, which have yet different colours.

And living here, it‘s quite usual to cross multiple borders between France, Germany and Switzerland. It‘s all so close, and it’s just natural to move around in the whole area, and you don‘t even notice when you cross the country borders (except for the traffic jam on Saturdays when everybody goes shopping cheaply in Germany and gets the export stamp at the border to get the German VAT back). And Stefan: Don‘t say Zurich when you talk about Basel... That‘s as if you called Düsseldorf Cologne or vice verse. Zurich is where they talk with that strange chewing gum accent. Not beautiful at all. Nope!

I'm similar to Stephan in estimating things, and I convert imperial to metric (bc I'm a nerd) all the time, for fun.

I was two times in 4 countries in one day: Germany, France, Belgium and Neatherlands. The next day two more England and Scotland. And at an other time: Germany, Switzerland, Italy and France. I have read a book by a journalist who was on four continents in one day. He flew from Brazil to Frankfurt with a stopover in Africa. He had just landed in Frankfurt when his boss sent him on to Istanbul. There he drove in a taxi and told the taxi driver that he was already on three continents today. The taxi driver did not say much about it, drove over a bridge and said "Now there are four". He had crossed the Bosporus and was now in Asia.

Welcome to my city! I've been living in Basel for almost 5 years now (via Dallas then Nürnberg). The Green trams are for the Canton of Basel-Stadt, The Yellow trams are for the canton of Basel-Land and any other colors have paid advertising on them. I agree about the high prices in Switzerland. I much prefer to go across the border into Saint-Louis to eat and to shop as I find the prices to be much better.

In your take out you mentioned it ain't be possible to be in three countries the same time. It is possible !! Years ago I was in three countries within seconds. :-) I visited friends near Aachen. They showed me the so called "Dreiländereck" a point where the borders of three countries foregather. Belgium, Netherlands and Germany.

Like Stephan; I can estimate weights quite well. Science background means you weigh or convert to weight everything you do.

I have long thought what an awesome opportunity it would be to just take a moment to stand on the boundary between two countries with one foot in each. Of course, the novelty would quickly wear off, but in the _mean_ time... 🤷

i have done that before while crossing the US-Mexico border by foot bridge :) It is a cool experience because immediately the other side of the bridge is even made different.

The green pharmacies' sign with animation is present also in Kosovo.

In Ameslan, the first three fingers extended is 3, the middle three is 6 or W, and the last three is 9 or F. I meet Americans who don't know this and sign 3 as if it were 6. I took a train trip from Berlin to Prague and noticed that the signs change at the border. I'm not good at picking something up and estimating its mass, but I'm taking inositol by scooping it into the pot while it's on the scale, so if I need to add three grams, I can eyeball it.
