LONDON -- You hear stories of people meeting their doppelgangers all the time, but they usually disappoint. Not this time.

Cordelia Roberts only moved from the UK to Bremen, Germany for her university year abroad this September, but it didn't take long for people to notice something pretty startling about their new class mate.

Despite not knowing anyone in the city, Cordelia's pals were convinced they had seen her before. Well, sort of.

They had in fact seen Ciara - an Irish student also on her year abroad in Bremen - who looks EXACTLY like Cordelia.

Ciara had also experienced a similar interest from other students. She told Twin Strangers, a website dedicated to matching strangers worldwide with their exact lookalikes, "When I was going on nights out, people were starting to ask me did I come here with a sister or a twin and I didn't know what they were talking about."

Eventually, the two girls met on a night out and, according to Cordelia, "just decided to take a photo."

Thank GOD they did.

Apparently, people around campus now refer to them as the twins and ask why they're not together.

I mean, why wouldn't they? They're basically identical.
