JAKARTA - The similarities in names and geographies between regions in the world are inevitable, including architectural similarities, in which Europe has inspired architecture in various parts of the world.
Likewise with place names, where you can find Manchester in the UK and Manchester in the State of New Hampshire, United States.
But what about the Eiffel Tower in South Africa? Or the Italian shopping promenade in China? Shocking thought.
Here are some excellent examples from places around the world that have a European look and feel, reports Euronews.
Normandy Village, San FranciscoHomes in Normandy Village are in high demand, so the last apartment here is on the market for over half a million US dollars in 2019.
Not long ago, this particular place went viral on Twitter for its storybook-like fictional quality. One look and you'll be sure to be in the set of Disney's newest live-action remake, the charming thatched cottage.
Back in the 1920s, California had a brief love affair with Norman architecture and the result is this secluded treasure. It is strange to think that the village is tucked away on a road away from the hustle and bustle of San Francisco Bay.
Little Paris, South AfricaLocated in the City of Hartbeespoort, South Africans who don't want to make the 15 hour trip to Paris, France, can always head to Little Paris instead.
It is often described as a romantic destination for those who wish to experience the French capital in every way. Little Paris is home to a restaurant and delicatessen serving French toast, tarts and filet mignon to eat as you browse its inspired boutique.
The area even contains a replica of the Pont des Arts Paris, a bridge over the River Seine where lovers leave padlocks with their names on it. And don't miss the opportunity to take a photo at a replica of the Eiffel Tower, where you can imitate it as real.
Guanajuato, MexicoMexico's Guanajato region covers more than 30,000 square kilometers, a region that feels like a mix of European architectural styles, striking and awe-inspiring.
Most of the housing on the colorful hillside that surrounds the area, doesn't look out of place in the Mediterranean. Contrast that with the many buildings that take inspiration from elsewhere across the Atlantic. The Parish of San Miguel was inspired by the postcard image of a European Gothic cathedral in the 19th century. The tower and elegant frame really stand out.
But how did that happen? Dating back to the 19th century, many Mexican baroque buildings were replaced with neoclassical pieces, especially the religious buildings (of which there are many). This gives some areas a distinctly Italian or French flair, depending on who is responsible for building them.
Melbourne, AustraliaAustralia's second most populous city has received recognition for a long time, none of which bears the look of it that is a relic of colonial times.
Even so, you may be surprised to find that much of the Victorian architecture built at that time, sits alongside the new US-influenced skyscrapers along Melbourne's skyline. There are also a number of locations that are familiar to anyone who spends the day shopping in an English-like atmosphere.
Melbourne's waterfront in Brighton, Victoria has beach huts that are no different to those you'll find on many of England's colorful coastlines too.
Florentia Village, ChinaChina has had varying degrees of success in its fascinating history in recreating European destinations. For example, Florentia Village in Shanghai is one of the favorite tourist destinations.
The village of Florentia is not an actual village and is more of a chain of designer outlets. Each development is built with the aim of evoking a classic Italian shopping district, as opposed to their Hong Kong branch which chooses a futuristic feel
Visitors can shop at Gucci, Burberry and Prada against an elegant pastel storefront backdrop. There is also food inspired by many countries available at each restaurant.
