A very nice thing happened to my wife, a friend and me while we were sightseeing in Perth, Australia.
We were standing at the fence, taking shots of the Government House, when a security guard came out of his little office/entrance guarding building. After a few minutes of chatting, he said that the prime minister was in holiday, Western Australia was 'between PMs' anyway (if we got that right), nobody's home, so he could show us the ground floor of the house. Upstairs was out of bounds, but if we liked, we could look around in the garden on our own afterwards. I guess he was bored, and having two beautiful girls with me should have helped, too...
I even got a shot of a christmas card signed by Queen Elisabeth II and Prince Philip.
