It IS a Small World After All

[Wish]

Have you ever experienced a moment in your life where you realize how small the world really is? What is your small world experience?

I was in the airport in Manila, Philippines not too long ago. I saw my Filipino friend there who happened to be from my hometown in Georgia, USA. So across the globe, I still run into people I am familiar with. Both of us had no prior knowledge of meeting at this moment.

Mmm, riding a train, I realise how close all the towns and cities are to each other. While walking/riding/driving down all the roads, I notice how much they wind around the landscape, yet a railroad is straight across everything, and the next town turns out to be only a few fields away.

Rail was the first thing that began to make the world significantly 'smaller'... then aircraft, and the Internet. It'll be space for some folk before too long.

Wow lucky you guys.

Hmm I did remember seeing a former classmate take the ACT in another High School tho. :D

I was on an online chatroom, used by people from all over the globe, and managed to meet someone from my town who lives a few streets away. It was weird. o.o

When I left Vladivostok, Ru, I've befriended 2 of my colleagues there, which we used to hang out and play as a band together. Not knowing that they're hometown is in Moscow, I've met them again just last month. I'm quite shocked too.

This is the most recent small-world experience of mine.

I have a friend from a coaching thing and a friend from school. The latter's always talking about his friend Bosco, who's a total noob. The former does as well.

They're the same person, eh.

Sometimes. I saw one of my friends while I was walking around town, he moved to Florida a while ago so I was kinda shocked to see him back here.

One of my best friends last year was a Thai exchange student. This year, I ran into some of the new exchange students. One of them was good friends with my Thai friend back when they were in Thailand.

I was acquainted with two people for about a year, maybe more. It was then that I realized that not only did they know each other, but they were brother and sister. XD
