Is there any place in the world that gives you uncanny valley vibes? Like, it's almost like the US, but also very much not?

Post Body

For me as a Brit, Malta very much has this vibe. Some of the shops, street decor etc almost makes it feel like England in the 60s/70s, but it's also very much a Mediterranean country with a Mediterranean culture. I tell people it's like if a Medterranean Ed Gein killed an England, peeled its face off and wore it as a mask. It's an incredibly surreal and slightly eerie place to visit.

Do you get this feeling when visiting places like Puerto Rico or Hawaii (I know they're part of the US, but their culture's still quite distinct from the contiguous US), or even the Philippines?
