I live in an area called the "3 borders".
In the junction of France, Germany and Switzerland.
I've found this graffiti in France in an alleyway.
You can see the 3 countries : France, Germany ( Allemagne) and Switzerland (Suisse).
The 3 capitals : Paris, Berlin and Berne.
The 3 flags.
And the 3 towns that are touching each others Saint Louis, Lörrach and Basel.
In the same day, I can go in the 3 countries : I live in Switzerland, I can purchase my food in France, and can have a walk in Germany....
@svt@hasselhotch Pas mal d'avantages en fait, on prend le meilleur de chaque et on laisse le moins bon...les restaurants et le shopping en général sont moins chers en Allemagne, la nourriture est meilleure en France (je suis un peu chauvine ), et la vie est très calme et "safe" en Suisse....Des inconvénients ...sans doute le côté austère et strict des alémaniques....moi qui viens du sud de la France, je ne les trouve pas particulièrement très funs !
This is so cool. I love it! My inlaws live about 2 km's from the French border in Switzerland (on the edge of Geneva). They go over to buy food in France all the time. Coming from the USA and now Australia- the idea of popping across an international border to buy bread for breakfast is just so amazingly weird to me!
@sugarmuser sure, if you're fed up with one country you just have to pass one border ! @bardejov my German is a nightmare, but most of people speaks French or English...so it's not a problem ! @judithdeacon me neither ... I've got a wall in my garden and think it could be great too ;) @marlboromaam I am amazed by the talent of those street artists too ! @terryvet92 yes I understand, Switzerland is such a small country that you can reach from the center of it, Italy, France, Austria, Germany in less than 2 hours ...
@pointnshoot28 I need shoes : I go to Italy,
I want to sky : I stay in Switzerland of I go in Austria
Need a car : go to Germany
I feel nostalgic : direction France
.....I'm lucky ;)
