That and the FFG I was on, the Crommeilin (named after three brothers), had family connections in Perth. I got to play at the Royal Perth Golf Club and have a couple of Crème de menthes with some very nice young ladies at a number of family events.
In all seriousness, it does matter greatly the host countries opinion of Americans, and, as importantly, the opinions they have for their country.
India was for me, in the 1980's, second only to Australia in terms of engagement. I have not been back since 1987 but spent two weeks there. The openness, the curiosity and frankly the beauty of the country was really special to me.

FFG-37 is now a fish condo off of Kauai. Sniff.
