My brother traveled to New Zealand and met another Germans there. After talking a bit they discovered they were from same city, the same district in the city .... and the same street. He randomly met our neighbour from 2 houses down on the other side of the world.

    That's brilliant!

    Uncannyly I have a similar story. When I was in the African country of Benin, I met a Dutch couple, one of which was an architect who studied African architecture.

    My home town has a museum on that exact subject, so I asked him if he knew that, he was like 'of course, we live in that town'

    Turned out he lived around the corner of where I lived.
