KAO HSIUNG Kao hsiung was an unexpectedly en- joyable port and a welcome relief after avoiding several typhoons to get there . On first appearance, Taiwan was a lot like a lot of places twat we had been but the friendliness of the people and their eager- ness to try to help came through the language and culture barriers . Folks look- ing for bargains stocked up on the ridicu- lously inexpensive books, records and tapes before participating in a joint U .S .- Taiwan Naval Exercise. CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT: Taiwan seemed just a bit more intimate than most places. Back-street marketplaces like this one abound. A temple situated on a low hill is close to the center of town. LTJG Rick Hoffman plays pick-up ball with some local baseball- happy kids and makes friends with a monkey. The railroad is an important link with the larger cities of the north. ROARK's mack is in the background. si il .- 77:-tu:-..i.,,., q?- 47
