Have you ever bumped into someone you knew from a place quite far away?

Where it made you feel the world was small. E.g. I bumped into an old school friend from this small village, yearssss later, in this very specific random place in London one day. They didn't even live there and were passing by. Has anyone ever randomly run into someone they knew in another country?
I was walking through a random street in a small student town in Spain with 2 friends last year. I walk past a guy with his parents. Looked back, so did he, realized this was my buddy from HIGH SCHOOL. Wildest, most random coincidence I’ve ever had. Can’t even fathom the odds of that happening. This has spurred some AWESOME stories. Thanks all for sharing. Can’t reply to all but I read through them. My takeaway is that this world is so much smaller than we realize. Like one of the commenters said, the world gets smaller the cooler you are. What are the chances of bumping into someone you know/recognise while on holiday in a far away country? What's your craziest or most unlikely story of running into someone you knew?
I've heard some stories of people running into people they knew in far off lands coincidentally, and I always find these stories really interesting. edit: My story now in comments. I know others have far crazier stories, so blow my mind. Have you ever experienced a time where you were completely oblivious to someone hitting on you?
What happened? What’s something that stuck with you that the person who said it probably never realized would have an huge impact on you?
