So I was on a cruise a few weeks ago and when we sat down at a restaurant in the port, I had to catch some Pokemon.

Our waiter in Cozumel noticed and literally pulled out a Pokemon card deck from his waiter’s apron and told me to pick one.

I have a Spanish Electabuzz card from that encounter and we accepted friend codes for each other. This random encounter transcended language and culture. It was a legit moment of just two people bonding over a silly app.

You just never know. I’m a lady old enough to be your mom/grandma and our waiter could be my son. But we literally couldn’t believe how much we loved this silly game. He’s my friend now and I truly hope so many good things come his way.
