If you read last week’s “Christianville Spirit” I told you of the many different kinds of International Borders. So, This Week’s “Christianville Spirit” is part 2 of it. Why? Because I believe that just one newsletter to explain the borders wasn’t enough. So, I’m going to do a 2nd part of it. You see, it’s not just the Customs part of the International Border Fascination. It’s also what they put On The Border; like for example one of the most fascinating borders I’ve seen on Google Maps is the Turkey/Greece Border because the rails of the side of the road on the bridge are colored the National colors, like the rails on the Turkish side has red and white rails and on the Greek side the rails are light blue and white. And, to top it off the flags of Turkey and Greece meet at the center. Another border that is fascinating is the already mentioned Thailand/Myanmar (Burma) Border at the northern most point of Thailand. There is a bridge with the Thailand and Myanmar flags on the side of bridge to the center of the bridge. The final way International Borders are interesting is some borders put plaque to mark where the countries meet. I find it interesting that on the Amistad Dam; on US/Mexico Border near Del Rio, TX, they have the American eagle with the name of the country on the US Side and the Mexican Eagle on the Mexican Side. Another interesting International fact is about what is known as The European Union; there is an agreement in some countries in Europe that people and goods can freely travel from one country to another. And, if you are a citizen of The European Union you can live in a nation like Italy and work in France. All in all, The World has fascinating International Borders.

Thanks for reading The Christianville Spirit. Think that The Economy will get better and it will!
