Rough translation: "I was crossing at a busy intersection when I saw a perfect double of myself walking toward me. We stared at each other. It was a total mindf**k. Even more disturbing, my immediate reaction was an internal rage that a stranger somehow 'stole my face.' It was very rare."

Rough translation: "This may be explained, but the image still creeps me out to this day. It was more or less around the time when planking was in fashion. I had no idea what it was. I took a taxi to go to the city, walked around, and life was normal. But when I turned into the town square, there were about 200 people planking everywhere, and I did not know what was happening. I thought there were gunshots or a bomb—or maybe the world was ending. I asked someone next to me what was happening; they explained, we laughed, but for a brief moment, we will never forget that uneasiness we felt.
