Question about English (US)
「おや、又会いましたね。」のピッタリする英語はありませんか？
At a party or something, you exchange "nice to meet you," with someone.
then only a little later, you bump into the same person again.
This can be a little embarrassing. ( I personally experienced this a lot.)
So, Isn't there a good simple phrase for that kind of situation?

in that type of situation you could say "so we meet again" or "we run into each other a lot huh". You can say it humorously with a light tone of voice^^
