 Checkpoint on the Rio Grande, between Mexico and the U.S.A.  Crossing between Thailand and Myanmar (Burma) |
Who doesn’t get a buzz, an adrenaline rush, from walking or driving across a foreign frontier? So often, two cultures come face to face here, perhaps clashing, perhaps blending, perhaps mingling like oil and water, as the communities either side of the line draw life and purpose from each other.
Explore the mystique, the adrenaline rush, the paranoia even, which characterise border towns around the world, from Narva, Estonia, to Ivangorod, Russia; across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas, USA to the sprawling Mexican metropolis of Ciudad Juarez; from Mae Sai at Thailand’s northernmost point into Tachileik, Burma.
