Belgium and the Netherlands

In Belgium this week running a training course.  Just got back from having supper with a few colleagues this evening.  We went to a little town about 15km from here just inside Holland but most of the town is actually Belgium, within Holland.  We saw the border line between the 2 countries that runs through the town.  It was really interesting to see how the border actually goes across streets and even right through shops and buildings!  See the white "plus" tiles on the ground in the photos.  Seems to be quite a tourist attraction and one can understand why because of the novelty factor!

Left foot in the Netherlands, right foot in Belgium.

The national border runs right up to this shop door ...

And continues through on the inside!

It even took a double 90 degree bend in the middle of this street.

Now that's not something I  see everyday.
