Didn't know you were from Australia (for some reason, I had a picture in my head of you being from San Francisco, California). So interesting to know. In the late 80s and early 90s when we were stationed in Okinawa, Japan, we would meet Australians while vacationing in other Asian countries (and got to know a couple that anchored in the marina where we kept our sailboat) all of the time. Always enjoyed drinking with them when sailing, on the beaches, and at bars and restaurants.....
