I had just arrived in Sydney, Australia on vacation and wandered into a restaurant/pub in the Rocks District to get a drink and something to eat when I met and ended up walking out with the woman who was to become my wife.
And all I'd wanted was a gin and tonic.
I actually saw her standing there when I walked in the place and rudely demanded to know why there weren't any kangaroos around. She politely pointed out that this was central Sydney and, apart from lawyers, there were mostly just humans around. If I wanted 'roos, I had to go to the Outback.
