While all countries have weird quirks, some just have weird borders

“The border is a hopeful place as it has the potential for connection. It is at the border where two countries, two cultures and people can come together. And where there is coming together, there is hope.” For the uninitiated, Nimrod Danishman, the Israeli playwright and theatre personality quite aptly sums up how borders are an inevitable part of the global landscape. Some believe borders create differences, others say that it merely reflects them. While in some cases they’ve been the subject of all kinds of conflicts, controversies and negotiations, we’ve tried to steer clear of them. From strange, to bizarre, to simply ridiculous, we bring to you some of the most unusual borders around the world.

Netherlands - Belgium

In the small European town of Baarle, parts of Belgium and Netherlands sit side by side. One can simply waltz between the two countries by stepping over the slabs marked with the letters B and L. While the Belgian area is called Baarle-Herog, the Dutch one is called Baarle Nassau. However, what is puzzling is that each side has enclaves that belong to the other country. There are 22 enclaves on the Dutch side of the border and eight enclaves on the Belgian side of the border. It is not uncommon to see the border cutting right through the middle of the streets and even houses.

Diomede Islands

Did you know the USA and Russia are just a few miles apart? A pair of rocky islands in the middle of the Bering Strait, the Diomede Islands are separated by the International Date Line that marks the border between the USA and Russia. Big Diomede is part of the Russian Federation while Little Diomede is owned by the USA. Since Big Diomede is 23 hours ahead of its Russian counterpart owing to the International Date Line, it is often called Tomorrow Island and Yesterday Isle respectively. The islands were originally inhabited by the Yupik Eskimos, nealy 3,000 years ago. Today, there is no permanent population that resides here but the site serves as the base of Russian troops and houses a weather station.
