There aren't many world leaders who'd be game enough to walk through a hotel lobby in a bathrobe.
Turns out, New Zealand's Prime Minister John Key is.
Mr Key, who's been in Manila for the annual APEC summit, was spotted padding through the lobby of the opulent Peninsula Hotel on Wednesday night barefoot and wearing just a bathrobe.
He was spotted by a group of Australian journalists who were also staying at the hotel and he went over for a chat.
"It takes a special breed of world leader who's happy to walk across the crowded lobby of a five-star hotel in a terry-towelling bathrobe," The West Australian's political editor Andrew Probyn wrote about the incident.

Asked about it by New Zealand journalists, Mr Key initially tried to pin it on a case of mistaken identity.
"I don't know what was going through Malcolm Turnbull's mind," he said.
Mr Key commented that it wouldn't be a world leader who'd do such a thing, rather a "junior world leader".
He said he was on his way back from a swim in the pool.
