Ive done the zip line between Spain and Portugal. Its fantastic. There is also a time zone difference between the two. So you get off the zip line 58 minutes earlier than when you got on it! Look up Limite Zero to do it. Its well worth it, and there is a little boat that takes you back across to Spain. Because both countries are in Schengen you don't need your passport.

Another fun border is the Finland-Sweden border, specifically on the island of Märket, which is only 8.2 acres in size (making it the smallest sea island shared by two countries). The border used to be just a straight line, but in 1885 Finland built a lighthouse on the highest point of the island, which happened to be on the Swedish side. So in 1985 the border was changed to make the lighthouse grounds Finnish territory and make an equal area of the (formerly) Finnish side Swedish territory, meaning there would be no net change in either country's land area. However, the coastline ownership had to be kept the same as before so as not to affect fishing rights, so the border now makes an elongated 'S' shape in the middle of the island. Just to make it more interesting, the Swedish half is also divided between two counties (Uppsala and Stockholm).

The evidence of economic contrast of Haiti and The Dominican Republic is similar to what I saw between the US and Mexico going through Nogales.

For Hispaniola, you comment how slavery can ravage a landscape and caused the disparity in the difference between Haiti and DR, but paradoxically Haitian slaves threw out its colonial masters in 1803 and has fared less well than DR, which gained indepenence under primarily the rule of the descendants of their previous colonial masters. Albeit, the indigenous Taino might have preferred neither came to the island, the side more heavily influenced/managed by Europeans has outperformed the other.

I actually did the Portugal-Spain zipline border crossing when I was holidaying in the Algarve back in 2016, and it's definitely worth doing if you're in the area. It was a lot faster and steeper than I anticipated, but definitely super fun, and a unique way to cross a border. And funnily enough, when I was back in Portugal in 2021, I went to Spain & back in a much more relaxed manner, a simple ferry across the river border :))

There are even weirder stretches of the US/Canada border in my view. Take take the Alaskan village of Hyder, for example. At a glance, there's nothing odd about Hyder, it's the only village in the southern half of Alaska's panhandle connected to the outside world by road. The weird part is where those roads lead. They don't lead to anywhere in Alaska, instead reaching Canada. Even weirder, when traveling by sea plane from Hyder to other parts of Alaska, you need a passport, the only example where travelers need a passport for a domestic flight. Another weird part of the border is the Northwest Angle, Minnesota. The angle is located on the North Western corner of the Lake of the Woods. To find the reason why, we need to look at the Peace Treaty that was signed in Paris that ended the Revolutionary War. The border between the US and what was at the time British Controlled Canada, was supposed to pass through the Lake of the Woods at a North West Angle (hence the name). Much like Point Roberts, they had no accurate maps of the lake when drawing the border and inadvertently created a weird bump in the border. Home to roughly 60 people, the Angle is strange in another sense. While it has basic facilities for Elementary School children, namely a one room school house, there's no room for older children, they have to border hop. They board a school bus before dawn, cross two International Borders, then get dropped off at the High School they attend in the main part of Minnesota.

I have to agree with the narrator that it's food that is the real ambassador(s) between us all (so to speak). I used to work for a laboratory that had employees from literally all over the world. We'd have monthly potlucks where each person, or group if there was more than one representative from a country, would bring a dish from their country. Of the seven of us out of 47 employees who were US born and bred, we would bring dishes that represented where we came from. It was really cool and a great way to learn more about Eritrea, Ethiopia, China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Greece, Russia, Ukraine, Nigeria, and Cameroon. Some of the dishes, flavors, and cooking techniques are things I enjoy to this day because of those potlucks.

Strange that you blame Haiti's condition on slavery when both it and the Dominican Republic suffered the same. Haiti had the advantage of independence 40 years before the Dom Rep in 1804. I think the problems it faces today are more complex that blaming it simply on colonialism and slavery.

@stijnvanderveken

for taxes they came up with an easy solution, if your front door is in Belgium you also fall under Belgian law. So you also pay your taxes to Belgium. Police forces of Belgium and the Netherlands have a long history of cooperation with each other. And the European Union made it even easier with the shengen zone meaning we have open borders. I'm not an expert on the matter but I believe the cooperation makes it possible for both police forces to operate in the different county's. For instance if you have a car chase they don't stop the chase at the border. And as far as I can remember I've seen both county's work together on murder cases when necessary. for utility's I have no idea I don't live there, I can drive there in 20min. I'm going to guess that they share infrastructure, but pay they're bills to company's situated in the country where the front door is. It does develop some funny situations. You see in the Netherlands they're kinda fireworks crazy, specially with new year. And a few years ago with covid the Dutch government made a temporary ban on selling fireworks. So Baarle Nassau/Hertog became a fireworks hotspot for the Dutch as Belgian shops where free to sell fireworks. Even in the town where I live. It was the first time in my life I've seen a longer waiting cue at the gardener/hobby shop then at the baker across the street.

Indeed, it's an unwritten rule that works. And if the front door is on the border (which is the case for one house), they can chose to which country they belong. There are no problems (sad that this isn't everywhere the case in the world). Pretty recently, due to a river that was straightened, there were a sort of enclaves (which gave problems for law enforcement, mostly due to drug, illegal parties and waste dumping, the police had to cross each time a river), so Belgium and the Netherlands decided to exchange some territory. Furthermore, Belgium and Dutch police, military, emergency services, ... work very closely together, like this summer there were some problems with Dutch people in a Belgian city, so the Dutch police helped the Belgian police to patrol. Also in the border regions of Belgium and the Netherlands there are sometimes mixed patrols. A lot of countries could learn something from Belgium and the Netherlands.

Surely the DMZ between The Republic of Korea and Democratic People's Republic of Korea must be up there in any list of 'Most Unusual Borders'? It's like the Cyprus border on steroids. The two nations are still technically at war, yet as a tourist on a guided visit from either side you can visit the blue huts straddling the line at Panmunjom - strictly when visitors from the 'other' side are not visiting! Here you 'cross' into the other country - the only place on the entire DMZ where this border crossing is possible without sparking an international incident and a high risk of being shot - simply by walking around a table. There's no border formalities, because you don't leave the building and in a small, sealed-off observation booth at either end of the room, two armed soldiers from the 'other side' silently watch through windows to make sure you don't try. Then there's the two border villages with the HUGE flagpoles and the high probability that the on the DPRK side this is a Potemkin village, which is entirely uninhabited. Almost as strange is the Yalu River border between Dandong, China and Sinuiju, DPRK, with the Chinese side downtown looking like a modern, illuminated skyscraper city and the DPRK side looking like a mostly run-down small, low-rise town, often in the dark as it is plagued by power shortages. The 'Broken Bridge' is a tourist attraction accessible from the Chinese side, where you can walk halfway across the river and peer at the DPRK from the point where the bridge was bombed in the war and ceases to exist. From here you can see the convoy of trucks and the odd train snaking slowly across the old 'Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge' the inadequate and ageing structure between the two nations and an economic lifeline for the DPRK. There's also the vastly larger, modern 'New Yalu River Bridge' a few miles west towards the sea. It was built by 2014, but then everything stalled until 2019 and it wasn't connected to a road on the DPRK side. At time of writing the DPRK connecting road is now built, but the bridge still sits there totally idle, meaning the massive Chinese investment hasn't yet paid off. There are pleasure cruises from the Chinese side in Dandong, where the boats pull right up against the riverbank on the DPRK side as the entire width of the river is in both countries, even if some of the small mid-river inhabited islands you sail around are DPRK territory and you can wave at the people from a few metres away, but not get off the boat and join them. There's also the 'One metre leap' from the Chinese side, at a point where the Yalu River is so narrow you can almost jump into the DPRK. The Chinese have posted signs, with cute pictograms illustrating a list of 'Don'ts'. One expressly forbids 'contact' with any soldiers you might see on the DPRK side and this includes an instruction not to throw things, like cans of Coke across the river to them. How come these didn't make the cut - aren't they strange enough!? 🙂

Its shape is meandering leaving quite a few German enclaves behind it on the Western side.

So a narrow ribbon of Belgian state of just 10m in width is running through Germany for tens of kilometres, being a cycling track nowadays. To make things even weirder: you can cycle on a bridge staying entirely on Belgian territory running above a road which is never leaving Germany! Check it out!
