      <description><![CDATA[ I previously <a href="http://vorg.ca/2989-Some-parting-thoughts">wrote about Baarle-Hertog/Baarle-Nassau</a>, a tiny town in Holland with a few dozen parcels of land belonging to Belgium.  International borders run haphazardly through the town, dividing streets and buildings, like so:<br><iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Baarle-Hertog&sll=51.261915,2.592773&sspn=7.743124,19.753418&ie=UTF8&cd=1&hq=&hnear=Baarle-Hertog,+Antwerp,+Flemish+Region,+Belgium&t=h&ll=51.433133,4.92968&spn=0.062919,0.154324&z=13&output=embed"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=embed&hl=en&geocode=&q=Baarle-Hertog&sll=51.261915,2.592773&sspn=7.743124,19.753418&ie=UTF8&cd=1&hq=&hnear=Baarle-Hertog,+Antwerp,+Flemish+Region,+Belgium&t=h&ll=51.433133,4.92968&spn=0.062919,0.154324&z=13" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small><br><br>Well, it seems that Google maps has Streetviewed all of Holland and none of Belgium, resulting in Streetview stopping and starting at near-random intervals through Baarle-Nassau.  My favourite part is that some of the Belgian parts have little parts inside them that belong to Holland.  <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Baarle-Hertog&sll=51.261915,2.592773&sspn=7.743124,19.753418&ie=UTF8&cd=1&hq=&hnear=Baarle-Hertog,+Antwerp,+Flemish+Region,+Belgium&ll=51.433133,4.92968&spn=0.00198,0.004823&t=h&z=18">These tiny strips of Dutch land</a>, some no bigger than a front yard, are streetviewed, while the Belgian parts are all cut off.]]></description>
