Yeah there was this news story a long time ago of 2 girls that were stuck on an elevator in Lisbon (Portugal).
Apparently they looked up some number on their phones for Lisbon but since they were from the US it suggested some random city named Lisbon there.
They spent a lot of time trying to explain where the elevator was located until they realised it wasn't the same Lisbon.
(I think it's a true story. Might just be an urban legend from Lisbon I guess 🤷♂️)
Because the cities are named by European immigrants naming places after their home towns. It not very original but I guess its better than naming it after yourself
I live 3,000 km from where I grew up, and sometimes it blows my mind that if I step out to my street and touch the asphalt, I'm touching the same continuous structure that's connecting to my parents home in a seperate country, on the other side of the continent.
