After bucking storms all the way from Midway we sighted the Island of Kyishu. We viewed the landmarks of Sasebo harbor for the first time, but we were to see these landmarks many more times in the next few months as Sasebo was to be our home port in the Far East. There are certain things that we will never forget about Sasebo. The assortment of vehicles constantly cruising up and down the narrow streets. Cars, bicycles, rickshaws and other modes of transportation which defy name or description. We shall never forget that street in Sasebo called 'Robber's Row . You could walk down this street and seemingly never come to the end. Every type of article could be bought there, from a pair of chopsticks to the proverbial kitchen sink. Stroll- ing down this street was like a walk down Coney Island, East Main, Clark Street and the Barbary Coast all rolled into one. We learned to bargain effectively with the high pressure Japanese merchant, starting ridiculously low on the price, of some article and he extremely high. After haggling for an hour, a mean price was established, and both sides were happy. As for entertainment, Sasebo was too Americanized to have Giesha houses or muchin the way of Oriental entertainment. To the enlisted men the meeting place was the Western Res- taurant and for the officers, Matsu Lodge. 5,-A S660 wield?
