' 2161 4i1JK HONG KONG MONTICELLO visited the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong on two occasions during the deployment. Hong Kong offers a wealth of sights and entertainment to a sailor on liberty. People from all over the world can be found here as well as good buys in silk, jade, diamonds, ivory and electronic equipment. Tiger Balm Garden, the Hong Kong Coney lsland with it's lifelike figures of alligators, mice, and tigers was the object of many MONTI- CELLO camera bugs. And, as always, a sight- seeing sailor gets hungry while touring Hong Kong's scenic wonders. Aberdeen's Floating Restaurant, an old fishing village outside the city, offered an authentic 10-course Chinese dinner, which included the sailor choosing his own live fish suspended from a basket in the bay. Many also visited the New Territories, the 3QflCUllUf8l heart of the Colonies, which is a few hundred yards from the Red China border. Another famous sight was the view lromvictoria Peak, which is reached by way of a tram car. 1 l Q l l rm JA16' 1-N NEED A RIDE? 1 ik '- M 'Q A Qi. 1 is K ',', af R if S' K - Clin g E-in 'QI Aw' K A at , E '55-sa, I' , . , 'fi ggi-as J' I slwagg HONG KONG'S BAY.

An adventure begins at your first step out the main gate and con- tinues for blocks, as the cry of Bar-be-cue , and whisper of Hey Joe, sell your watch, ring? Like magic the clock sounds twelve midnight and the Cinderella City halts to a complete stop with the Clubs and streets empty. Marshall law still exsists as President Marcos continues to cut down the crime rate. The Naval Base offers just about any sporting facility imagineable including a go cart track, a skeet-range, a bow and arrow range, baseball and football fields, two gymnasiums and on down the list.
