In the States you'd probably have to crash a White House party to do that...

So my work mate went to a gala event for her brother the other day.  He was getting an award for being a top NZ scientist.  The presenter of the award?  John Key.  The Prime Minister.  Ann said that she chatted with him for five minutes after the ceremony and he was very personable.  She sounded a bit starstruck.  I was thoroughly impressed as well, that a regular person got to meet the Prime Minister

But then Adnan reminded me that in a country of just four million, well, it's kind of like getting to meet the mayor of LA.
