The first stop in the Far East was Yoko- suka, Japan, well known to those who had made the Wes-Pac tour previously. We were greeted on arrival by a myriad of middle age fishing vessels and upon moor- ing were descended upon by bum boats try- ing to vend their wares. During the day sight seeing was of much interest due to the vast difference between Japanese dress, customs, architecture, and people and our ov n culture. Since transportation was read- ily available, many took the train ride to Tokyo and Yokohama, going first class of course. Yokosuka itself, however, kept the average sailor busy enough. For an after- noon snack and highball, the E-M club proved adequate and cheap, while most of the shopping could be done across the street at the Oriental Arcade. Night life was fascinating and new for most of us. There were many cabarets with good American dancing, cheap drinks, and pretty girls. Needless to say standbyes were hard to find. •Jf ' f£f rjytf i±i JM ' tt ' -V wll ti ££ t w 1 !» i 0VBT -

R ANDR The nine days R R in the Kobe area was some of the best liberty experienced on the cruise. Kobe, the largest sea- port in Japan, was very conven- ent both for shopping on Motomachi St. and night life in that same area. Kyoto, the an- cient capital of Japan, was the center of the R R periods with headquarters at the Hotel Rakuyo. Kyoto had severa famed Japanese Buddhas and many other points of interest such as the park at Nara inhab- ited by several hundred friendly deer, the big bell where one could wash away his sins for ten yen, and the famous Dimaru department store. Kyoto ' s nightlife was excellent and the cabarets there seemed to be a bit classier than those encoun- tered in other parts of Japan. Evidence of the fun and ac- quaintances made there was shown by the number of wav- ing hands on the pier as we departed from Kobe.
