Small World of Blogging

I was chatting with a friend in Saudi this afternoon, talking about work and other friends when he suddenly asked me to forward him the URL of this blog since he hasn't seen it yet. I type it in the chat window for him to click on. He told me that he met this guy in Saudi and they got to talking. I'm not sure how the topic got where it was but my friend began telling the guy that he knew someone who worked in Khobar then moved to Jeddah and moved back to Khobar then moved to Bahrain. Now, the guy interrupts my friend and the whole situation kind of went like this (I'm not sure how it exactly went but this is my personal interpretation of what happened based on what my friend told me. If you're the guy who my friend was talking to, you can email me the exact details and I'll revise this)

My Friend: Oh, I have a friend who was in Khobar then moved to Jeddah for a while, then moved back to Khobar, then moved to Bahrain this year.
Guy: And he's in Qatar right now?
My Friend: (surprised but nodding)
Guy: He has a small kid? My Friend: Yes!
Guy: His wife is currently on vacation in the Philippines?
My Friend: (now starting to wonder and laugh) Yes! Do you know him?
Guy: Yeah, I've read his blog.

Small world.
