Nowadays he is my boyfriend.
When I met him, he hold me that he loves horses and also said that he worked with them.
After a few months dating together, I told him that my grandfather was called Ricardo too. I don't usually talk about him because he died when I was five years old, so I don't have lot o memories of him.
Where is the coincidence? Maybe you think that it is the fact that both were called Ricardo, but that is not the most important coincidence... Here it is: one day my boyfriend and I went to Magdalena to visit some friends of his. When we were at his friends' house, there was an old man called Carlos and I said that my grandfather had a friend called like him. After a few minutes talking together we realised that he was my grandfather's friend. He showed me some pictures and I recognised him.
This is the most beautiful coincidence that has ever happened to me. In that moment I realised that a lot of memories that I thought I had forgotten were still there in my mind.

Even more if you're turning 27 years old. In this edition of "Amazing Coincidences" I introduce you to "The 27 club", honoring actors, singers and rock stars who died at the age of 27. All the members of this exclusive club not only found death a very young age, but also being at the top of their careers: Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse, Jimmy Hendrix, are some of the names, and sadly, there are more. The connection between the members in this list will be remembered as another amazing coincidence in Hollywood history.

They met at school. Both of them were born in La Plata. They look alike. By coincidence, they were born on the same date, December 18th, in the same year! 
Julia is my mother and Julio is her friend. They’ve been friends since they were at school, in La Plata. They both have three children. Julio called his third son Tomás, and so did Julia. He’s never been to Bali. Neither has my mother!

I called a friend to help me. The next day she called me laughing, an asked me:"Don't you know where I am calling you from?" I didn't know what to say. I could never have imagined what was going on. "I'm calling you from your old house! Another friend of mine called me to help her moving house. When we arrive at her new house, I couldn't believe  that it was the same house!" she said. It was a really strange coincidence.]]> 2018-05-21 20:54:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sbgargiulo/Ad4C2018/wish/262506370 Amazing coincidences https://padlet.com/sbgargiulo/Ad4C2018/wish/262508563  
Six years ago I decided to travel to the Caribbean in my summer holidays. I saw some pictures on the internet and the places were incredible, so I booked a beautiful hotel with a view of the beach. When the day arrived, I got a flight to Cancun and then I took a taxi to the hotel. When I was there, I checked-in but I noticed that there was a problem. The hotel was full! "Is there any problem?" I asked. “Yes, a person with the same name and ID as yours has occupied your room, I can`t believe it!” the receptionist said. “Neither can I,” I replied.

When I arrived there I took a bus to the arena. On that bus, a girl with a t-shirt of Muse (my favourite rock band) sat down by my side. I said, 'I love your t-shirt', and she replied, 'Thanks! It's my favourite band. I love it!' 'So do I,' I said. And then we started to talk.
She told me that she was going to the concert of The Strokes and I immediately said 'So am I', and the coincidences continued.
She told me that she was studying at the UNLP and I said: 'Really? So am I! I'm studying management, and you?' ' I'm studying law.' Well, that's not a coincidence... but it almost was. We enjoyed the concert together. Today, she is one of my best friends.

This summer I travelled with some friends to Europe, it was an excellent experience.
One day, we were walking in Prague and we wanted to visit different places, so we decided to divide into two groups, the first group went to the new city and we went to the old city.
At 1pm  we wanted to eat, but we didn't have wifi to communicate with the other group. We were so hungry  that we decided to go to a restaurant and try to use the wifi there. When we were at the entrance, we saw our friends doing the same!! at the same hour, in the same restaurant, and we had not said anything about getting together to have lunch!
I think that was an amazing coincidence!

At night, we dressed and went to a party. When we arrived, we met other friends.
They were wearing the same dresses as us. They looked like us.
At first, we were worried, but then we laughed at the coincidence.

I have been studying astronomy at the university of La Plata since 2014; here I become a friend of Julian. After a few months we were amazed to discovered that we had both competed in the same art tournament some time ago.

When I went to school I competed in an art tournament in different categories: murals, painting and singing.

My mural was the winner, and I won a trip to Mar del Plata. The mural that got the second place was Julian's.

Also, Julian competed in bands, he was the drummer, and I saw his show in different places. He's still playing with his band and I keep going to see him every time he plays.

Another coincidence with Julian was that we traveled to Bariloche, six years ago, and we stayed at the same hotel, in the same week! But at that time, we didn't know each other.
