Identical strangers stunned when they meet each other while studying

When Irish student Ciara Murphy headed to Bremen in Germany on her year overseas to study, the last thing she expected was to bump into her "Twin Stranger" - who had done exactly the same. "If Ciara shows up and Cordelia doesn't people ask her "where's your twin"?"

"I didn't know what they were talking about in the beginning, so I was just like: 'No, I'm completely on my own out here'". Now that they have met, they're "a package deal", a friend says, and one is rarely seen without the other. With their high foreheads, oval-shaped faces, and similar noses, they look like they could be sisters, if not twins.

Her comments were echoed by Ms Murphy, who said: "I came over here, I was totally alone, in an airport [with] three big bags, no clue where I was going... but then...it started to get better".

In the video, Ms Roberts said: "I didn't know anyone coming to Bremen, I didn't know anyone here already..."

But after a while, they both twigged that they looked REALLY alike and snapped a selfie - which quickly went viral on .

The pair are now close friends and known as "the twins" on campus.

They "twins" made a decision to take a "selfie" together which is when they realised the uncanny resemblance. Photo: SuppliedCordelia Roberts from Ireland claims she had many people asking her if she had a sister or twin. "In fact, it's a good conversation starter".
