<div id="ygrps-yiv-1198948001"><blockquote><span title="ireply">&gt;i agree with you jesper<br/>
&gt;tho i havent visited a single multinational point yet<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>Me too, I never visited a tripoint myself. I have been to three continents,<br/>
but actually only passed a few borders, and most as a child, and before I<br/>
got interested in borders. I few years ago I passed the German-Czech border<br/>
(on a buss trip), but no matter how hard I tried I could not figure out<br/>
where the border was. One thing I also find a litlle interesting is how<br/>
borders run around border crossings. Last weekend I found an areal shot of<br/>
the main German-Danish border crossing and then I cross checked with a<br/>
topograhic map, and without the map I would not have guessed the border.<br/>
Well acording to the map it seams like when the border hit the Danish border<br/>
control house it ran in the middle of the street until it hit the German<br/>
post.<br/>
<br/>
Tell me of someone pass the US-MX border by foot at Tijuana, do you know<br/>
exactly when you pass the line?<br/>

<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;everyone can have a world class adventure pointing anywhere on any level<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;but the world class of the multipoints themselves is by definition the<br/>
&gt;multinational class<br/>
&gt;& we impoverished north americans will just have to learn to eat that<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;man we would actually have to fly in commercial airplanes or drive all the<br/>
&gt;way to the freakin third world to even get a whiff of a multinational point<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;& should we acquire a real appetite for them<br/>
&gt;like say by actually bounding off to guatemala<br/>
&gt;which has a monopolistic grip upon our poor continental supply<br/>
&gt;we would then find we still cant drive on to south america to scarf up some<br/>
&gt;more because there is no freakin road to there yet<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;so a person just cant get more than 2 multinationals from here without<br/>
&gt;leaving terra firma herself<br/>
&gt;& both of these are difficult to impossible anyway<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;& that is mainly why i am collecting the world class vicariously thru<br/>
&gt;internet search & people like you with any to share<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;at the same time i am curious to learn about the internal danish tripoints<br/>
&gt;& those of other countries<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>I am sorry but Denmark don&#39;t have tripoint. Until six days ago there were<br/>
only one border, not there is two with the bridge to Sweden.<br/>

<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;& about whether & how try pointing might be done elsewhere & by others<br/>
&gt;so i will be following you with interest in every case<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;also many thanxx for your other recent message<br/>
&gt;which meant a lot to me<br/>
