Peter,
It was the first time for me to hear the national anthem of your country.
(It was played to honour the second prize winner of the boardgame after "God Save the Queen" the first)
Also, I was really really glad to sing the "Spanish Ladies" for the first time.
Interestingly, "Drunken Sailor" is much natural and easier to sing in Japanese, though Mr. Jingu the translator didn't know the melody when he put the words into Japanese.
