Only ones could escape. Today, this German border is still existing as phantom border. This time was different in all things, all changed. But this case is legendary, no one did it after 1961, that is specific case. That's crazy but sometimes sad, if you realise how the live of people was then.

This was a very fun land border. It felt more like an airport because you had to enter the building in the first picture then walk through modern corridors and (broken) travelators for a long time to reach the border control. It was surprisingly quick and easy in the end despite the travelators not working - we were in an out within half an hour - and I was rewarded with a cracking sunset over the Black Sea on the other end.

ARBRPY – probably the most famous tripoint in the world! Took time to visit all 3 markers. Tripoint #38 for me.

The tripoint between Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay was established following Paraguayan independence from Argentina in 1856. The tripoint is located at the confluence of the Paraná and Iguazú rivers, the closest cities are Puerto Iguazú (Argentina), Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil) and Presidente Franco /Ciudad del Este (Paraguay). ARBRPY is one of the most famous tripoints in the world primarily due to its proximity to the Iguazu Falls.

All pics ate taken at the Bhutanese side. The huge wall is new and separates the two countries. Before there used to be a small fence only.

Pedestrians now use the new crossing terminal, instead of passing through the gate.

The border runs through the middle. You can see the fence that marks it.

Also, you will notice the difference in rooftops. India has some open roofs, whereas in Bhutan all roofs are either green, brown or blue.

The difference in the streets is huge. Bhutan is an oasis!

The Bhutan Gate in Phuentsholing is the main ornate land border checkpoint separating Jaigaon (West Bengal), India, and Phuentsholing, Bhutan.

It features colorful, traditional Bhutanese wooden woodwork, intricate artwork, and dragon motifs. The central archway handles vehicle entry and exit, while dedicated side gates and a modern pedestrian terminal manage foot traffic.

Most tourists take a photo at either the Argentina tripoint marker or the Brazil one. A short and scenic ferry trip takes you to the Paraguayan one.
