I just ran into my Amsterdam housemate Elena on the bus. When I said hello, she recognized me rightaway, even though it's been almost 5 years. What a small world we live in! (similar story: When I moved to London in 1994, I ran into my tennis teacher from Angola rollerskating at Kensington Gardens)
I'd love to see an estimate of the probability of such things: how many new people one sees per day, how often people they live abroad, how much do they mix, etc. It's easy to do back-of-the-envelope calculations, but how could one approach this more seriously?

My current commute is just short of 2 hours each way.
Port Moody -(ride)- Kootenay loop -(135)- Burrard Station -(44)- UBC
Currently I'm taking a refueling break at Blenz Coffee. The Internet here is working better than anywhere I've been in the last 48h.

Then, on the 44, I ran into a student of mine from last semester.
