The drive south had been most pleasant. Taking in the scenery thanks to my night vision, I watched as the arid grassland went by in silence. As we arrived closer to the border, The scenery began to change as more and more building appeared and the wild terrain vanished almost instantly.
The buildings we were all driving past now were all sophisticated and looked new and maintained. It was quite the contrast compared to the jungle of skyscrapers that appeared in the distance right on the equators border.
As we passed the sign that signalled the equator I grew confused and wished for clarification. Pushing a button to roll down the privacy barrier, I waited until it was down and asked a question towards the front of the vehicle. "Hey, out of curiosity how come there was no border security or anything like at the airport? I would suspect travelling to and from each side of the equator would be under careful supervision?"
