Late, but yes
In the exciting* travels of Clan Osok over the decades, Mumsie Osok made a trip into the bush in rural Nigeria in the late 60s (Grandfather Osok was laying pipelines) and was very much the centre of attention (as the females used to stay in town sipping gin while the blokes went and got sweaty in those days). Oh, and someone shot at them, but they didn't realise this at the time. She also made the mistake of drinking the local arrack and being violently sick at dinner. Score one for diplomacy.

Osok Senior was also one of the first Westerners to be invited into North Korea, and was followed by hordes of people wondering who the shivering blue bloke was. He also got a severe kicking from Security at Shanghai Airport on that trip, but that's for another day.



*may not be that exciting
