How many of you have come across places that share their names with some cities abroad? Sounds impossible but it is true!

There are many cities abroad that share the same name as those found in India.
Kochi in India is the capital of Ernakulam. It is fondly called the ‘Queen of the Arabian Sea’. Well, the queen shares her name with a place across the sea in Japan, and a common element between the two apart from their names in the sea.
