HONG KONG Our visit to Hong Kong offered something for everybody. The eager MONTICELLO shopper found top quality items at fantastically low prices in the city as well as at the nearby China Fleet Club. For the adventurer there was the scenic view of the harbor from Victoria Peak or the ride to Kowloon via the famed Star Ferry. Whatever the taste, there was something new and exciting to be found by everyone in the fastest growing city in the Far East. ' ' Btf G r ii L -i«»- - mmmj ' ' ' m. M . i .

GUAM MONTICELLO spent most of January on the Island of Guam. Although the 30 day stay was mostly designed for the upkeep of the ship, many crew members did manage to mix fun with work. Some crew members took advantage of the USO sponsored tours of ttie scenic spots of the island. Various divisions aboard sponsored divisional parties where food, drink and a friendly game of football made the day. Not to be outdone, MONTICELLO ' S officers held a shipboard party for the civilian dignitaries and naval officers of Guam. All in all it wasn ' t such a bad place after all.
