Hong Kong is one of the most cosmopolitan liberty ports in the Far East. As a Crown Colony, Hong Kong is administered by the British in the same fashion as any other British metropolitan area, but with allowances made for the various ethnic groups represented. A Governor, appointed by the British Sovereign presides over the Colony, assisted by an Executive Council, a Legislative Council and an Urban Council. The Colony is com- prised of .three main parts: Q13 Hong Kong Island - ceded to the British by the Treaty of Nanking in 1842: Q21 Kowloon - ceded by the Convention of Peking in 1860: Q35 the New Territories - leased in 1898 for a ninety-nine year term. All the outlying islands, except for Stonecutters and Green Islands, are a part of the New Territories, Ninety-eight percent of the population, numbering about four-and one half million, is Chinese, with the remainder apportioned among other Asians, British, Americans and Europe- ans. Dining in Hong Kong can be a real culinary adventure, albeit a more expensive one in these days of inflation. A variety of cook- ing styles can be found throughout the Colony. Chinese food is a must, and one can find Cantonese, Shanghainese, Peking, Hunan- ese and Szechwanese fthe Mexican food of China because it is so hot and spicyj. Chinese food should be eaten with a group of six to twelve people. A dinner usually -consists of about ten courses, of which each person eats only a small amount of each course. Caution should be exercised in patronizing some of the sidewalk and alley noodle stands. One runs the risk of incurring great physical discomfort as a result of such a meal.
