surreal encounters

today was an exceptionally strange day...i went to london since i had a meeting with my supervisor....it was ok, she bought me coffee and we talked....i will see her again next month...pretty simple....except that i have a theoretical essay to write before then....such is life.
after meeting with her i had to run over quickly to the science library. i had only been there once before (since i dont really have much reason to use it) but i wanted to find a book about india that according to the computer was located in the anthropology section, which is logically in the science library. so i went in...but i couldnt find the book. the computer claimed it was on the shelf...but it wasnt...while i was looking i saw a guy reshelving books and i said "excuse me but i cant seem to find...." then i looked into to his eyes, which are the bluest i have ever seen...but then i realised i had seen them before....so instead of logically finishing my sentance with the book i shrieked "SHIT, YOU WERE IN MY HUNGARIAN CLASS!"
and we both started laughing. really wierd, the guy is romanian and we were really in the same hungarian class in budapest 2 years ago...i dont have the full story yet, since i was in a hurry to meet my dad, but he said that he was working last year in istambul and now he is doing an phd in anthropology. the department gave him a tuition waver, but he doesnt get a stipend, hence the library job!!! the world is clearly a very small place....
we exchanged numbers so i will get the whole story of istambul from him later i imagine...
so after this rather odd encounter, i went to the pizza place with my dad to meet gabor (another face from hungary) and my dad bought us both pizza. we really were pigs: a bottle of wine, huge pizzas, dessert...everything. gabor and my dad trashed kavkaz men, and i accused them of just being jealous....it was funny....
when i first moved here i thought i would know no one, but it seems i know quite a lot of people indeed. funny how the past keeps returning!
