No escape, no escape (Singapore / New Zealand / Taipei / Beijing)

Two ex-students (one British-born Chinese, now living in Singapore; one Malaysian-born Chinese, now living in New Zealand) discovered recently on FaceBook that they’d both been on my evening class programme, thus sharing the same teacher.  

    This reminds me of two other students back in the 80s and 90s.  

    One was in a park in Taipei, started a conversation with another Westerner, and discovered that they’d both studied under me.  

    Ditto another one in a Beijing park.

    What are the odds of that, I ask you?
