HONG }im Again the bright lights and the lure of oriental life drew the crew of the MONTICELLO to the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong. In this oriental colony one can find people from every country in the world. Hong Kong offers a wealth of sights and entertainment to a sailor on liberty. After taking a bum boat , water taxi, from the ship to the fleet landing, the sailor usually succeeded in spending some of his hard earned money. Tours again seemed to be a main attraction. Some visited New Territories, the agricultural heart of the colonies, which is a few hundred yards from the Red China border. Another famous sight was the view from Victoria Peak, which is reached by way of tram car. The World of Suzie Wong in the Wanchai District also proved to be a highlight to the crew. Tiger Balm Garden, the Hong Kong Coney Island with its lifelike figures of alligators, mice, and tigers was the object of many MONTICELLO camera bugs. And, as always, a sightseeing sailor gets hungry while touring Hong Kong ' s scenic wonders. Aberdeen ' s Floating Restaurant, an old fishing village outs.ide the city, offered an authentic 10-course Chinese dinner, which included the sailor choosing his own fish from a live basket suspended in the bay. After a visit to Hong Kong, a shopper ' s paradise, many of the crew returned to the ship with empty pocketbooks. At the China Fleet Club they purchased stereo equipment and cameras. Or, a sailor bartered for a set of blues and usually ended up buying several pairs of pants, shirts, and even tailor made suits. An extra feature of the Hong Kong port was the visit to the ship by Marisue Enterprises. They painted the Mo Boat and sold cokes to the crew while the ship was anchored in Victoria Harbor. »-- TTr- 23
