Very interesting Bishop.
I had a lot of dealings with Enclaves when I first started research on India & Bangladesh.
I didn't know about those towns in Belgium & Holland (Netherlands), weird why they would have to be so rigid with the border, a bit like the neighbours of 2 houses refusing to budge 1 inch so as not to lose any land... but why?
It makes you think of the how fast borders changed in history to be able to cut people off and leave them stranded deep inside the newly occupied country.

I usually hate bureaucracy, but you gotta agree that that's some pretty impressive Belgium *ahum* Dutch villages.

Really enjoyed watching that. I think I have been to the counter enclave of UAE in Oman. There are several enclaves between the two countries. These days they've put fences up to determine borders after a diplomatic spat between the two countries.

Just as fascinating as Part I, but with the benefit of understanding the fickleness of borders.
Thanks Bishop!

Oh thanks for asking Aero, I'm just a bit busy, trying my best.
And well, I will shave with the spring, in a few weeks then
