These girls have a slight build and a curiosity that reminds you of a schoolgirl, but underneath they are clever, and nobody's fool. Olongapo has plenty of entertainment too. The main street is lined with a multi- tude of bars and nightclubs that range from small holes in-the-wall to big, elaborate extr av aganz as that include some good bands and really different floor shows. The drinks are priced to satisfy everyone's budget and in the better clubs they taste pretty good. American beer is a rarity but the local brew is a passable substitute as long as you remember that drink- ing too much of it can pro- duce embarrassing side ef- fects. During World War ll the islands were the scene of many battles be- tween the Americans and the Japa- nese. Now, twenty three years later there are still many vivid reminders of the war. Along the beaches and the strategic waterways one can see the old gun enplacements like the Concrete Battleship qElfraile Fortressj at the entrance of Manila Bay.
