N X 57? f s xx .. x ff fyy, V ffg,,,f,f,i VVe entered the harbor of the British ruled colony of HONG KONG on the eighth of March. We anchored off Fenwick Pier, just a stone's throw from the China Fleet Club. HONG KONG is a free trade port, and money from all over the world is exchanged for the Hong Kong dollar Which is HK 35.70 to US 31.00. Being a world port, one may purchase goods from any part of the world, and the price depends on how good of a bargainer you are. Most everyone comes away from HONG KONG with at least one suit and maybe a camera. There are quite a few points of interest on the island. Tiger Balm Gardens was a novel display of statues representing Chinese philosophies and religious beliefs, built by a Chinese tycoon who made his money by manufacturing and selling the famous Tiger Balm ointment: a cure for all of ones ills. The tramway to the top of Victoria Peak was our next stop. We could almost see Red China from there. The we took a taxi down the mountain to Aberdeen where we had lunch at one of the floating restaurants. We selected the fish that we wanted to eat and a half hour later, it was sitting in front of us steaming hot. After lunch we walked over to Sampan Alley. We were amazed at how many people were living in so many boats. These people must really strive just to exist. There is a food problem as well as a water problem because there are too many people in too small an area. On the way back to the ship, we passed by Repulse Bay, an international resort city.
