There was a guy in baarle-nassau/baarle-hertog who, before the border was clearly marked, was paying taxes to belgium and was a fan of belgium, when the borders became clearly marked, it turns out he lived in the netherlands, so to avoid living in a different country, he just moved his front door

Hello there cgp grey
@JavozREKZ / REKZboss well I didn't watch the person to whom you're referring, but since I'm Dutch I just know
@@KnuxMaster368 I wouldn't call him a genius. It's just common sense imo

I never thought anyone from overseas would find Lloydminster interesting. I've driven though it probably 50 times. Really nice friendly people but quite boring in that it surrounded by flat farmland in every direction. It has no body of water and there in nothing of note architecturally or culturally. But again.... really nice people.
Kind of like most of the prairies.
Yeah, I had the same reaction. Lloydminster is definitely not a town Canadians think of as particularly interesting. Nice folks, sure, but that's true of most of small town Canada. To be fair, I always thought it was simply in Alberta but it's a few thousand km from my place so I've never had the chance to drive through it.
3:48 Fun fact: You can't say "Frankfurt *am* Oder" because in German, rivers have genders. The Main is a male and the Oder is a female, and you have to use the correct translation of "the" based on their genders.
hahaha thanks for the explanation
@@ibx2cat Anything to teach the ol' Toycat some proper grammar, ya know. 😜
I'm curious as to how Germans decide if a body of water is a female or a male
@@obsessivelyoli It's not just German, it's the same in italian and probably other European languages
not genders, but sexes (masculin, feminin, neutral)
Surprised you didn't talk about Kinshasa - Brazzaville
I thought he was gonna bring those cities up
I think he doesn't know too much about Africa tbh.
I think the lack of a permanent road or train connection really diminishes the fact that they are so close by.
They are completely unconnected, even though they're just at the other side of a river... lol
Despite close proximity, their only connection right now is an international ferry service across the river.
You can turn right on a red in most of Canada except on the island of Montreal.
I had no idea it was an island
@@mr.beepers2119 It's the second most populous island in continental North America.
I thought it was the entire province. Then again I was driving with someone from MTL, who may have "imposed" the law to be provincial.
Thanks. I like stats like that. I need to go up there sometime
Cool I thought it was only a California thing...guess England drives the other way it would be left on a red light?
Thanks for letting me edit the video :) I look forward to working on further videos.
PS. While looking into the Mc Donalds menus it made me jealous of the Germans and how many burgers they have.
Very good job 👍🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It's the same with Gorizia in Italy and Nova Gorica in Slovenia. Gorizia was a very important town for Slovenes living there but after WW2 Gorizia was given to Italy so Slovenes decided to build a new Gorizia next to the border, but after Slovenia enter the EU and Schengen both towns are united again.
Also one interesting fact, Nova Gorica main train station is actually facing old Gorizia because it was built for old Gorizia but stayed on the Slovene side of the border.
Let's not talk about the New Jersey-New York border....
Also the title is a little wierd. Does is say the correct thing?
Yea, I'm ~4 hours from "border city", and it isn't between two countries... Yet.
@Ambrose Burnside No one would ever say liberty island is part of New Jersey. It is ours.
wow, so New York is a state border? weid :-).
@Ambrose Burnside part of liberty island is New York and part New Jersey so you are right but we have the statue
Actually, until WW2 Slubice was part of Frankfurt an der Oder. but it was split after the Oder was declared as the new border by the allied forces. Similar case with Görlitz/Zgorzelec. (They even have the same name just in 2 Languages so german maps will often show both as Görlitz and i guess polish maps would show them as Zgorzelec)
There is a commuter passenger train route between Görlitz and Zittau, Germany which makes on stop in Poland opposite Ostritz, Germany. Before the Schengen agreement passengers who got off the train had to get their passports/ID cards checked by both Polish and German border guards just in order to leave the train in Poland and walk across the pedestrian bridge back to Germany.
There is another commuter passenger train route that starts in Swinoujscie, Poland and the goes along the northeast coastline of Germany.
Hopefully soon the direct Berlin- Stettin railway route is done.

Interesting video and your pronunciation of 'Saskatchewan' is spot on Toycat.
Yep, he pronounced it like he was a local. His pronunciation of Alberta however... :)
Here are two fun geographical things about Saskatchewan, my home province.
*1)* Saskatchewan is situated in almost exactly the same 11 degrees of latitude as the island of Great Britain (from Land's End to John o' Groats), and both are roughly eight degrees of longitude wide (western Scotland to Norfolk), and if you slid Saskatchewan due east about 100 degrees, the province would just about perfectly fit over Great Britain. But Great Britain only has about one-third the land area.
*2)* It's a popular misconception that Saskatchewan is a perfect trapezoid like Colorado and Wyoming in the US, and from a distance it does look like one, but it isn't. As far as I can tell, the northern, western, and southern borders are straight parallels and meridians, but the eastern border with Manitoba, starting about halfway down, makes a lot of tiny doglegs called correction lines, and a few of the east-west corrections are only about ten feet long, but each one of them counts as a side of an irregular polygon. I counted about 70 of them. If you zoom in really close and scroll down the border, you'll see that it's remarkably detailed. Some of the east-west lines even double back toward the west about a quarter-mile, then turn south for a short distance, then turn east again, then south. When you get down to the southeastern corner of the province, where I lived for a year, it really starts to flute out toward the east and bites off what would be the southwestern corner of Manitoba if the border went straight down along the 102nd meridian, but it's part of Saskatchewan because, well frankly, fuck Manitoba. I think this would be a fun video for you to do some time if you like weird borders, so, you know, do think about it if you're stuck for an idea.
But the UK has palm trees 😂
Doug Hicton it’s called the 3rd system of surveying 😉
@@RayEttler So does the west coast of Canada, in British Columbia.
I wouldn't consider anything drawn on a sphere to represent a "perfect" trapezoid.
nit-pik... I know.
My father actually worked at Basel airport in France. He had a British passport/citizenship, but lived in Germany and had a German wife, but the company was Swiss and payed in Swiss Franc. Taxes were always a real nightmare, even for really good and expensive tax consultants, but even then they were always worth their money in returned taxes.
And now pension is a real nightmare.
Believe it or not you’re pronouncing Saskatchewan perfectly! 😂 Also you should check out Ottawa-Gatineau (Canada’s capital) on the Ontario-Quebec border. It’s particularly interesting due to the language barrier.
the79thcookie it really is! I noticed this when I first visited Ottawa.
I lived there for 8yrs, they're practically interchangeable. Its really just the signs.
I live on the Ottawa side and work on the Gatineau side. As far as we locals are concerned, it's all just one metropolitan region. The provincial distinction is mostly relevant for stuff related to your residence but people cross the border in either direction to work, shop and visit family and friends all the time. Gatineau is basically just a suburb of Ottawa. There is a linguistic divide but it isn't as glaringly obvious as once might assume based on province. You hear both languages on the streets of both cities all the time.
In the National Capital region, people tend to be more francophone to the north of the river (Gatineau) and more anglophone to the south (Ottawa) but there is also a strong trend towards being more anglophone to the west of the city and more francophone to the east, so the east end of Ottawa (south east) is heavily bilingual (and the heartland of urban Franco-Ontarian culture - don't confused with Quebecois unless you are trying to irritate them) and the Gatineau suburb of Aylmer (northwest) is also heavily bilingual (increasingly so as the real estate prices in Gatineau are better). The metropolitan region is heavily bilingual on both sides of the river, with the west end of Ottawa being the only area where you rarely hear French (and Old Gatineau in the east of Gatineau being strongly French speaking).
The city's not quite as bilingual as Montreal but it's definitely the second most bilingual of Canada's major cities. You've got the big anglophone Ontarian population, the large francophone Quebecois population, the significant Franco-Ontarian population (who have a definitely cultural gap with Quebecois due to experiencing different histories for the past century) and a growing anglophone Quebecker population... along with lots of fluently bilingual folks, often from mixed heritages (like my kid). The divide really isn't what it used to be.
paranoidrodent When I resd that, it give me hope that one day, all off canada would be a trully billngal nation, but a some one from the region of Montreal, I think it will never happen😭😭😔
You should've talked about how in Australia the Queensland and New South Wales border goes though the middle of the Gold Coast Airport
Let's not talk about the fact that Coolangatta QLD doesn't observe daylight savings, Tweed Heads NSW does so for 6 months Coolangatta is 1 hour behind.
surfie007 and that the capital territory has some land by the coast
Wow!
Texarkana TX & AR (when I was there there were different bar closing times, so after last call in one state you go across State Line Blvd & continue drinking)
Bristol VA & TN (home of Bristol Speedway for NASCAR fans)
Just like Ottawa ON and Gatineau QC, different ages and closing times. Kids drive from North Bay ON to Temiscaming QC, for the same reason, but that's 63kms.
8:50 It is in neither province and in both provinces... So it's basically Schrodinger's City
Being Czech, I was waiting for Český Těšín / Cieszyn on Czech / Polish border.
I went to those cities in 2005. Back then, I had to get my passport stamped.
How do you make these fancy gmaps animations in 3D?
I used the satellite view on gmaps for the first few but put the zoom on my browser really low so the text is barely visible. From Frankfurt and further on in the video I used Google earth to do it which works smoother.

I heard you like funfacts: You translated "Frankfurt an der Oder" with "Frankfurt am Oder" at one point. That doesn't work in German since the Main and the Oder have different articles. The Main (Der Main) has the article "Der" and the Oder (Die Oder) the article "Die". So both rivers have different genders (literally in German since "Der" would be masculine and "Die" feminine). Therefore if you would spell the names of the cities out it would say "Frankfurt an der Oder" or "Frankfurt an dem Main" - In short "Frankfurt am Main". There's no short way for saying "An der" for some reason. German uh?
german and its rules lol. though I think Polish has more difficult grammar rules
LoL, German is difficult innit? 😂😂😂
But you could say Frankfurt anner Oder ... but that is kinda slang and not proper grammar.
you are like an actual grammar-nazi
@@VerbaleMondo Try Bosnian or Polish or Russian or any other Slavic language and you will know the real meaning of "difficult".
There's a town in Vermont that is split between the us and Canada.
In that case, it's not in Vermont. It's in Vermont and Québec.
Derby, Vermont/Standstead, Quebec (I think the actual bordering sub-municipalities are Derby Line and Rock Island)..
Portland in Oregon is just like that. The northern half, a separate city, called Vancouver, is located in Washington, and the rest of the metro area is located in Oregon. The Columbia River marks the boundary. Many people from Vancouver come and work in Oregon, and vice versa. Many from Vancouver also love shopping in Oregon because we don't have a sales tax here.
Also, many people trying to get to Vancouver, Washington by greyhound bus from Seattle have headed in the wrong direction, toward Vancouver, BC, Canada. That's what happens when 2 different cities have the same name.
The title doesn't make much sense
@@pixiepandaplush he changed it i think. It was "All" instead of "Many", i think
Another example, also Canadian...Flin Flon, Manitoba...except for that small part that's in Saskatchewan, but they still have Manitoba-based postal codes, however, their 9-11 (emergency phone number) service is a mess, they have to call a different number to get city-based emergency service rather than that from a nearby Saskatchewan town.
New York is that big brother that steals from you, but they are too weak to fight back.
Very interesting! I only knew the european examples!
(especially Frankfurt Oder and Słubice, I know some people living on both sides and they generally think what you said in your video 😂)
The most interesting example in my country would be Strasbourg/Strasburg at the border with Germany, which is one of the biggest cities... the interesting fact is that they actually built a tram line going from the central station to the town hall to the centre of Kehl (the german part).
Well, it generates a lot of border tourism, the train line is always full. Basically, alcohol tourism! The laws are different: the beer is cheaper and tastes better there, plus german laws set minimum drinking age at 16 instead of 18, so french teenagers take the tram to Germany to buy stuff for parties.. People also come to eat german kebabs (they opened many on the main street since the tram opened), and to just buy some stuff, because it's less expensive. Germans also take the tram to hang out in Strasbourg because it's the bigger part, to eat, or to visit (there are trains from Offenburg, a more distant city, coming in at Kehl station)! In my opinion, it's the best example of trans-border mass transit! (although Switzerland also does)
Otherwise, I think the least convenient example would be Terespol and Brest, because the lesser part belongs to Poland in the EU, while the bigger one belongs to Belarus which is not part of it. It's also where the Paris-Moscow train has to switch from European standard to Former Soviet standard tracks ^^
Btw, your Macedonia video was cool! Happy they finally solved the issue. :)
@Paweł F. FishingVLOG Thanks for the idea! I was actually thinking about it, this truly gives me motivation! :)
I live in Alsace there we have :
- Strasbourg linked to the German city of Kehl, since 2016 there's even the tram that links our cities which is really awesome.
- The tri-national area of St-Louis (France), Lorrach (Germany), Basel (Switzerland). From what i know, Saint-Louis is linked with tram to Basel but i don't know for Lorrach.
I'm Swedish but I have relatives in Basel and last time I was there we went by tram all the way to the German town Weil am Rhein where the awesome Vitra Design museum is situated, so there are 2 different tram lines to Germany. We also took a little stroll through 🇨🇭, 🇫🇷 and 🇩🇪 and back to 🇨🇭, passing over the Rhine two times 😊
Right turn on red, except prohibited by signs, is indeed a thing in most of Anglophone North America. (I have no idea about the rules of the road in Mexico.)
As a St. Louisan who lives about 5 minutes away from the City Museum I now love you for mentioning it having gone there. Your the best Ibxtoycat!
About cities at Poland-German boundries. In the past those towns were one city on german jurisdiction, but after the WWII, the boundrie between Poland and German was made through river Oder (Odra) and split town in two. There are few cities which were split. The biggest one is (are) Gorlitz (DE) and Zgorzelec (PL).
Twin cities over borders are everywhere. In the southernmost point where Sweden and Finland share land border lies Haparanda (SWE) pop.10000 and Tornio (FIN) pop.21000. They share a golf course over the border.
Canada and the United States share a golf course as well just south of Vancouver, British Columbia (Peace Portals golf course).
Worth mentioning is that most of Haparanda's residents have Finnish as first language (some of them can barely communicate in Swedish) since A) many of them were born in Finland and later in life moved across the border and B) the traditional linguistic border between Finnish and Swedish lies around 30 km west of the country border, the Torne River. Of course all children have to learn Swedish in school which along with a strongly repressive attitude against Finnish until the 1960's has lead to a decline in the usage of Finnish and especially the local and distinct Torne River Valley dialect ('Meänkieli'), which is more or less extinct in the twin city of Tornio/Haparanda but is still used in the more rural areas upstream, especially on the Swedish side. In Sweden it's even considered a separate language from Finnish.
ibx2cat - With Ur light, try bouncing the light off the wall in front of you, the indirect light may work well
I read once about the Dutch and Belgian villages, that one of the countries has later alcohol licenses, so people have to change tables and move across the border to keep drinking.
another wierd fact about lloydminster, is that the liquor stores in alberta are privately owned, while the ones in SK are government owned.
which is why the AB side has 90% of all liquor stores
I'm late so if someone's already mentioned how the Vancouver International Airport, YVR, is actually located in the city of Richmond, not Vancouver, well, pardon me. =3
There aren't many cities that have their airport within the city limits.
When discussing Baarle Nassau and Baarle Hertog you mentioned that they were both Eurozone and in the Schengen area. Fun fact: the situation existed in the same way when there were full border controls between The Netherlands and Belgium at each and every border crossing. Dutch people used to visit Baarle on Sunday because some shops would be open (based on front door location, as you said).
Fun fact 2: Baarle was split this way because in the olden days the various rulers used to give each other pieces of land as presents or gestures of goodwill. The Hertog (Duke) of Brabant (present-day Belgium) and the House of Nassau (present day Netherlands) just went a bit wilder than the average Bischop, Duke, Count, or Prince.
I like the editing. Subtle, but it enhances your video :)
The City Museum in St. Louis is indeed a wonderful thing. After moving to and later leaving STL, the museum is the one thing I've remotely missed.
Lloydminister in Canada has about 30,000 people -- hardly a "big city." More people live just in NYC proper than in ALL of Alberta and Saskatchewan combined.
An interesting area: DC. DC/"DC"/Maryland/Virginia.
Pretty big for Saskatchewan
That's like top 5 here
California alone has more people than all of Canada.
@@heronimousbrapson863 - Indeed; and Texas, with under 30 million people, has the same size economy as all of Canada.
Europe: Ulm and Neu-Ulm. Cieszyn and Cesky Tesin. Gubin and Guben. Lindau and Bregenz and Swiss villages (East Bodensee). Zgorzelec and Goerlitz. In subnational division: Pruszcz, Gdansk, Sopot, Gdynia, Rumia, Reda, Wejherowo that are 7 towns lying in 4 different powiats (counties), and 7 different gminas are actually one big urban area.
There's an equally interesting situation at the German-Swiss border, where the German city of Constance (Konstanz) exercises certain administrative powers over a plot of land called Tägermoos, which is actually Swiss territory, by virtue of historical rights that were entrenched in a treaty in 1831.
The Mohawk First Nations community of Akwasasne is split between two provinces (Ontario and Quebec) and two countries (Canada and the US - the American part is in New York State). The reserve lies right at the southern corners of the two provinces where they abut New York State. It has a weird kind of split and kind of not split status and it is probably the most porous spot on the border.
Gold Coast-Tweed Heads is Australia’s sixth largest urban area with a population of 638k (2016) accordingly the Wikipedia. Gold Coast, with approximately 85% of the population, is in the State of Queensland and Tweed Heads is in the State of New South Wales (NSW). Queensland does not observe daylight savings whereas NSW does for six months of the year which causes lots of problems for residents and tourists crossing the border. The terminal of Gold Coast Airport is in Queensland however the runway crosses the border. Boundary Street straddles the border with shops on either side.
Good job on the new graphics/better presentation. I like it.
Coolangatta at the south end of the Gold Coast, a city in Queensland, Australia has a state border on a street which seperates it from Tweed Heads in New South Wales. From October to April there is even a one hour time difference due to Queensland not observing daylight savings. You can celebrate New Years in NSW then cross the road and celebrate in Queensland in an hours time.
You didn’t talk about Kinshasa and Brazzaville, two cities capital of two countries separated by a river
Hey T-Cat you clicked on Basel and forgot to mention that it's not in 2 countries but really in 3, Switzerland, France and Germany.
12:07 You can do that in Canada too. Turning right at an intersection, while it’s red.
One thing I notice about Lloydminster Alberta/Saskatchewan is that most of the major retail businesses are on the Alberta side.
Strasbourg - Kehl (Alsace and Baden in Germany) and Saint Louis - Basel (Alsace and Switzerland) also have this thing where they're basically one metropolitan area
Here in my state, some cities on the coast seem not to have borders at all, even though they exist. You cross the avenue, the street, the pavement/footpath/sidewalk and you're in a different city. In Uruguay and Brazil, the city of Chuy is in both countries on the border. Very interesting! 😃
Tweed heads, New South Wales and Coolangatta, Queensland. Both in Australia. One side of the road observes day light savings time and the other side doesn’t. similar to Cameron corner (there is one shop and 10 residence), on the New South Wales, Queensland and South Australian border that has three New Years celebrations as each state is on a different time zone
While the runways are in Switzerland, the Geneva Airport (GVA) has a Swiss and a French side (the town of Ferney-Voltaire). I haven't been there since Switzerland joined the Schengen Zone, but last I was there in 2004 you would choose which immigration to clear. If you were renting a car, it was less expensive to go through the French side and pick it up there. That probably hasn't changed.
Not only is Lloydminister on the SK/AB border, but its also the border between CST/MST. This time the entire town, elected to go
with CST. The town hall is in AB.
Love the new animations!
Albury/Wodonga in Australia, separated by the Murray River, which forms the border between NSW and Victoria.
For Americans whenever there’s a new settlement it immediately becomes its own thing even if it’s right next to another settlement. That’s why Kansas City Kansas isn’t Kansas City. Kansas City was founded before Kansas even became a state. Kansas City Kansas was only founded a few decades ago and is viewed as an imposter to people on the Missouri side.
You missed Gorizia (Italy) vs. Nova Gorica (Slovenia). They now have a shared square right on the border, and even common city bus lines.
Kansas City, Kansas was intentionally named that way to confuse people and businesses to go there instead of the Missouri side

What light have you bought? You should probably look at getting some kind of diffusion to make it more comfortable to sit under. The reason it's so bright is most of the methods of softening the light waste lots of brightness so you need to start with a load.

Really liked the editing On this video!
I love the editing in this video!
you have to look also at Ulm e.g its split between bavaria and baden Wurttemberg
I was born in Lloydminster and my family lived on the Alberta side but the hospital is on the Saskatchewan side so my birth certificate is from Saskatchewan
I love the editing!
Never thought someone out of Canada would talk about something in Saskatchewan. I saw the flag and had to watch the video.
Yeah, you nailed "Saskatchewan". (trivia tid bit) Anywhere, in either province, Lloydminister is casually referred to simply as Lloyd. Hoody in West-Lloyd = Bunny-hug in East-Lloyd.
"Hoody in West-Lloyd = Bunny-hug in East-Lloyd" Really? That's weird, but a cool way tell what part of town someone's from.
*Taxes in Belgium get lowered*

The next video you should do is about Cameron’s corner in Australia where they celebrate New Year’s Eve 3 times! Because of the border and time zones
What about islands which are splited? Like New Guinea
And Ireland where stupid brexiters will create again a border between Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland (UK)
In the same archipelago: Timor and Borneo
St Martin in the Caribbean, Haiti/Dominican Republic, Terra de Fuego (Argentina, Chile), Cyprus (Cyprus Republic, the unofficial Northern Cyprus Republic, UK territories)
There has been a border since Northern Ireland joined Great Britain in the 1920s.

In Australia we have Albury-Wodonga, Tweed Heads-Gold Coast and Queanbeyan-Canberra, all with NSW and on 3 of its 5 borders

"Alberta wasn't having any of that zig-zaggedy line stuff"... despite the detour [edited to add: that I mistakenly thought I saw] that puts Cold Lake entirely in Saskatchewan.
Nope. The city of Cold Lake is entirely in Alberta. The AB/SK border goes through the lake itself.
@@lostwizard My bad. I was meaning the lake, rather than the town, but I'm still wrong-I thought it looked on a map in the video like the border detoured around the lake.

I believe that Flin Flon on the Saskatchewan/Manitoba border is an example similar to Lloydminster.
As an Albertan who learned about Lloydminister in school, I thought it was normal. I am kind of shocked other places don’t do it that way.
Its a lot easier for administrative purposes to split it than to share.
gorizia (italy) and new gorica (slovenia), it was split in two after WW2, you can see what the old station square what split in two west italu and the east with the station Yugoslavia now Slovenia

Another example of this could be flin flon Saskatchewan/Manitoba, it’s 1 city but on the provincial border
Here in Ukraine, in Uzhhorod city, just 2 or 3 kilometers from Slovakia, we have an airport which runway begins 90 meters from the Ukrainian-Slovak international border, so planes must use Slovak airspace for take-offs and landings under special treaty.
It's a good job that Belgium and the Netherlands both drive on the same side of the road...
So proud that you pronounced Saskatchewan correctly!!! Kudos!
I think interesting example would also be Sarajevo and East Sarajevo. They are both in Bosnia, but administrated by different levels. If you go there the only way to notice you are in another city are street signs that put Cyrillic at first and Latin at second place. Most of residents of East Sarajevo work and trade in Sarajevo.
Also many towns along Sava river that makes northern border between Bosnia and Croatia. Those towns are all connected by bridges, people commute in between dialy, but are different towns because they are in different countries.
Also Goricia and Nova Gorica between Slovenia and Italy. It was one town before until borders were set.
Flin Flon also in Canada is in a similar situation between Manitoba and Saskatchewan
