We’re always hearing/saying what a small world it is, how these coincidences happen all the time, how the internet has brought people together, made things more accesible…. Check this out, the best summary is what someone who commented on this flickr photo said…

” Wait. Let me get this straight.

A guy from Scotland goes 5490 miles to Tokyo and takes a picture of a girl taking a picture. She turns out to be from England, 413 miles away from him.

Impressive, but not all that weird.

UNTIL!

He posts the picture he took on a Website (in Canada, irrelevantly) and within 6 weeks the girl in the photo finds it (after a friend of recognizes her)?

That is truly amazing. I am deeply impressed. Any one care to calculate the odds?”

Man, Flickr is awesome!

And, for you not-so-savvy readers, click on the photo to open the actual page, read the comments, and you’ll get the story…
