The magical place where two or more countries meet!? Some country’s borders are really strange and others are downright hostile, so let's have a look at the world’s strangest borders. 1) Bulgaria, Greece and Macedonia The meeting place of three countries, also known as Tumba Peak, it’s where Greece meets, the south-westernmost point of Bulgaria and the south-easternmost point of the Republic of North Macedonia. Every August since 2001, an international excursion to the peak is organized under the motto "Balkans Without Borders" 2) Pheasant Island This tiny isle located in the Bidasoa River between Northern Spain and Southern France is only 200 metres long, and has swapped nationality between the two countries more than 700 times since 1659. This is because the two countries take turns to govern it, changing its ownership every six months. 3) Mexico and USA The most crossed border in the world, nearly 1 million immigrants find their way over the border between Mexico and the U.S. every year. Trump's still waiting for Mexico to build the 12 billion dollar wall along the huge border, extending from the Pacific Ocean in the west to the Gulf of Mexico in the east. It traverses a variety of terrains, ranging from urban areas to deserts. 4) Egypt and Sudan Bir Tawil, is an unwanted 2,000 square-kilometre stretch of desert that separates both countries. This piece of no-man’s land would only be a loss for either country, and both refuse to annex Bir Tawil. However, multiple organisations and even individuals have attempted to claim it for their own, with little support from the international community. 5) Canada and the USA At five and a half thousand miles wide, this is the longest border in the world, separating Canada from 13 states. It looks like a straight line on the map which may seem like an easier way to divide a country but it completely isolates Point Roberts, from the rest of the U.S. The 5 square mile peninsular only has an elementary school, so high school students that want to study in the U.S. have to cross the border every day. 6) Moresnet Between 1830 and 1919 there existed a lesser known country named Moresnet, with its own flag and even own language, Moresnet bordered with Holland, Belgium and Prussia for just under 90 years. However, after the First World War, the territory was annexed by Belgium and today this point is marked by a tower (Belgium) from where you can see the cool Labyrint Drielandenpunt (Netherlands). 7) Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay This border is located where the Iguazú and Paraná rivers converge. This is a much visited tourist area. Each of the ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALK07T61l_k

Get more Tips here! www.destinationtips.com There was a time when airline travel had a touch of glamor to it. People would dress up and conduct themselves in a civilized manner. Flight attendants (or stewardesses, as they were called) were respected. Everyone was on their best behavior as they jetted off into the skies. Times have changed. Plane flights today are no more glamorous than an inner-city bus trip. Mutual respect seems to have gone out the window. Those of us with manners have little recourse when affronted by selfish, unhygienic, misbehaving cabinmates. Have cheap flight tickets made air travel too base for civilized folk? Well, now you can take back a little power and at least document these inconsiderate offenders. PassengerShaming.com is a social media site by former flight attendant Shawn Kathleen where people can post snaps of these inflight ingrates. It may not change anything, but at least we can commiserate and, hopefully, make people think twice about how they conduct themselves on public planes. Here is some extreme photo evidence of passengers behaving badly above the clouds. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHvofFEnirc

Get more Tips here! http://www.destinationtips.com Italy… a country bursting with art and history. From pilgrimages to the Vatican to hitting the nightclubs in Milan, Italy sure is full of so many things to see and do that you’ll definitely want to go wild on this holiday. But, don't be too reckless, there are still some things you shouldn't do in Italy. 1) Don't forget to Validate your Ticket Tickets for regional trains need to be validated, there are some exceptions, but in general terms, you have to validate your ticket before boarding. So find a validation machine, push your ticket into the slot until you hear the stamp being applied and your ticket will be good to go for up to six hours. 2) Don't order latte Let's see... what do you want? a coffee? or milk? Latte means milk, so if you order a latte, you'll get a glass of milk. On the other hand, if you want a coffee, ask for an espresso, cappuccino... Try to remember that. 3) Don't forget to drive carefully In Italy there are limited traffic zones. You'll need a permit to go through them and they don't give them to tourists. The ‘Centro Storico’ is usually a limited traffic area. There are no barriers, however, so if you cross over the limits a camera will take a picture of your license plate and you'll get a hefty fine... even if your car is rented. 4) Book in Advance There are plenty of wonderful monuments to visit, but be clever and think about which ones in advance so that you can buy the tickets online. If not, you'll have to wait for hours to enter some places. 5) Don't Dress inappropriately in Churches You may not want to miss the opportunity of visiting some of the best churches and cathedrals in the world. But, even if it's too hot, try not to wear shorts or go with bare shoulders. Remember to take some respectable clothes for those visits. 6) Don't Trust your GPS Yes, I know you have all the maps of the world in your GPS, ok, right, however that won't be very useful for you here. In Italy, there are a lot of towns and villages from different regions with the same name. So, be clear about which is the one you want to head to. 7) Don't Assume You’re Getting Tap Water In Italy, they prefer to drink bottled water, so if you're in a restaurant and you ask for still water, don't expect them to bring you a glass of tap water. They will bring you a bottle. So, to avoid misunderstandings, just make sure the waiter know which type you mean. 8) Don't eat in the Tourist Spots This is a pretty standard rule of thumb to follow for most countries, if you’re looking for authentic food, and Italy is definitely no different. If you're visiting a tourist attraction and you want to have some authentic Italian lunch, take some time to go a bit further from the area and you'll get to ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rD8nb586SR0
