And than there is Europe where you live in Luxemburg, work in Germany, went to school in Belgium, have a boyfriend in France and visit your parents every week in the Netherlands...

It reminds me of two siblings on vacation who have to sleep in the same hotel bed so they bunch up towels between them

I accidently crossed into Canada during a hunting trip and the Canadian trooper I ran into was super nice and gave me a ride back to my truck and gave me some home made jerky he smoked. Carlson with the CSBA is great officer.

And now, as of June 22, 2022, Canada's "whiskey war" with Denmark is finally over. The "war" was "fought" over HANS ISLAND, which both countries claimed. The Canadians started the war by raising their flag over the island and leaving a bottle of whiskey when they left. Then Denmark arrived and took down the Canadian flag, respectfully, and raised the Danish flag, leaving a bottle of Cognac. This process was repeated every so often over the years. Now Canada and Denmark have agreed to share the island.

I, with my Canadian father and American mother, am living proof that the "no touching zone" thing doesn't always work.
-
Person: I think I found oil on the no-touching zone. USA: who said that was a no-touching zone?
-
Living in Australia all this border stuff is really fascinating!
-
The US and Canada really took the "I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you!" and "Stay on your own side!" banter siblings do to whole nother level!😂😂

"How did this shipwreck happen?! Couldn't you see the lighthouse you crashed into?" "According to me there is no lighthouse because the island is American"
-
Canada: MOM America is touching my Island, It has my lighthouse on it America: Eyes closed I don't see any Lighthouse

Im from upstate NY. There have been several times that I have driven (drove? idk) into Canada by accident. There are areas where it just turns into Canada. You can tell because all the road signs immediately shift into km and french. Weirded me out.

My dad used to be a teacher up in Blaine Washington and still to this day complains about “why don’t we just give point roberts to Canada” because so many of his students showed up late to school whenever there was the slightest issue at the border
-
I love how the US and Canada diligently Co-manage a "no touching zone" that maintains the border exactly... and meanwhile in europe some farmer moved a rock slightly which changed the border France, and it took them like 3 years to even notice...
-
I find international border stuff fascinating, coming from Australia it's a new concept.
-
As a British Columbian Canadian who lives less than 20 minutes from the border, I find this fascinating. I never knew there was a "no-touching zone" on the entire border. I just thought is was a gap in the forest from logging. And the fact that there are some parts where you have to cross the border to reach another part of your own country is equally interesting.
-
Imagine living in that one town where you could say “ back in my day I had to cross 4 borders just to get to school”
-
I heard that if you cross the No Touching Zone heading north and don't present your passport you get chased by Moose armed with guns that shoot Timbits.

Years ago, I was surveying boundaries of a National Forest. It had been done before in the 1800's. They did an amazing job considering they only had a compass and a chain. We did find one error that was significant enough to cause Forest Service having to move a large park entrance sign maybe 50 feet.

I do like how this is the equivalent of the tape border through a shared bedroom except under this circumstance, both sides are quite amicable about it. Siblings, take note, you can have your half and still be friendly ^-^
