Why Facebook Is Great – A Short Personal Story

 

Flying back from Sao Paulo to Zurich I was sitting next to a Brazilian guy. We had a great conversation about Brazil and about Europe. I have learnt that he lives in a city at the beach close to Sao Paulo, where I usually spend my time in Brazil. He told me that he was visiting his mother , who lives in the Netherlands close to Amsterdam. A country and an area which I know and like well. Without Facebook the story would end here...   

...but we shared our Facebook ID's. When we reached our destination we added each other. Since then we had a few chats on Facebook and we commented on each others status messages and picture posts. It so happened that his mother also added me as Facebook friend. I found out that my new friend from the airplane has a sister too, who lives cloth to Amsterdam as well. We are now Facebook friends too. Like that I got to know almost the whole family and we chat on Facebook every now and then. Even though it might not be this year, I am convinced we all will meet personally (again) in Brazil in the Netherlands or in an other place. Story to be continued...
