Met stranger twice

Travelling for work in Zimbabwe and met a guy in the hotel bar that grew up v.close to me; this is not the coincidence. He neither knew me, my father (local business owner) or anyone I knew despite having lived within 5-miles of each other for several years. We went our merry way in the world. I was installing an inter-country metering system between Zim and Moambique. He was installing a mobile phone network. Was in a bar in Jordan chatting to a colleague when a voice asks. This may be a strange question but were you in a bar in Harare, Zimbabwe 7 years ago. I was, and clearly so was he. What are the chances of inadvertantly bumping into someone you don't know, and have nothing in common with, in two entirely different countries. Note: I rarely go on holiday and fail to meet someone I know.
