A friend of mine i know from gaming/internet/music went to new zealand about one month ago. He's going to stay there until next summer.
Yesterday he wrote me an email to let me know what's going on etc.
He met a girl who came up to him because of his band-shirt he wore.
That shirt was from a band called 'Jupiter Jones', which is from my hometown Bitburg, Germany where i lived for 18 years (and my parents still do). So as they talk, she told him she is from Trier, Germany which is roughly 30km away from Bitburg. My friend then told her that he knows someone out of this area (me) and told her my name. And guess what, she said she knew me :o
He didn't let me know her name in his email, but i answered him if he'd tell me her name, so maybe i can remember who she is.
Then another story came to my mind which i've been told by a friend's mother the other day.
When i was younger, i played basketball in the local basketball-club in Bitburg. Because there was a US AirBase in Bitburg (and nearby in Spangdahlem), we had a couple of americans playing in our club.
This Airbase got closed a couple of years later, and our mates moved back to the USA. One of them moved with his family back to Seattle.
Some time later, my friend and his family went to Seattle to visit some friends over there, and guess who they met in a shopping mall?! :o
At first i didn't want to believe this story, but even my friend's father told me that it was true.
Sometimes this world is just so small. So be careful to what you say/do to strangers, maybe it will come back to you one day :p
