Opposite Top : The Diet Building, here the Japanese congress meets. Opposite below: An ancient rickshaw pauses before the Tokyo Imperial Hotel. A Frank Lloyd Wright spectacular, it was one of the few buildings to stand the earthquake of 1936. The many Hornet division parties in Yokosuka featured ancient- and modern-Japanese dances, and a little three part harmony.

Hub of the Orient . . . Hong Kong: what a town! We hauled into the harbor and dropped . anchor. V Mary Soo, 66Garbage Mary V was there with her girls before the anchor chain had time to get well-soaked. So were the sampans and bumboats. And the water-taxis. Maybe the taxis were lop-sidedand could- n't do more than 1 knot, but they 'got' us ashore. And they got us back aboard: loaded like barges' with . Real 'No- Squeak' Young boots, Taj Mahal suits and trousers, bam- boo furniture, carved chests and . . . Anyway, Hong Kong was a crazy town. Ashore we jostled along through crowds of Chi- nese, Indians, British troops, American tourists, beleagured and badgered by rickshaw boys and sidewalk vendors, awed by women in the Slinky slit skirts which have been the fashion thereabouts for mil- leniums, I guess. - t Hong Kong: King Kong of the Chinese coast. But it loomed even larger in our eyes for a simple reason: it was nearly the last stop. ,
