KAOHSIUNG Liberty Call This is the word all hands anxiously awaited upon arrival in Kaohsiung, for Kaohsiung is like no other port in the Far East. It is unique in many ways. We'll always remember it's beautiful women, the nickel happy hours at the E. M. Club, the scenic landscapes, the wonderful people, and petty cabs. There was never, I be- lieve, a single man in a liberty status who stayed aboard in this port-of-call . We always departed Kaohsiung with regret, but with hopes of soon returning. We shall never forget, and cherish the memories it brings to mind. HONG KONG Pearl of the Orient Magic Town What else besides Hong Kong could be described by these phrases. RUPER- TUS spent a total of 15 days inport Hong Kong and ever- yone would have wished that number to be 150. A modern city of many ethnic backgrounds, Hong Kong presented the closest resemblance to an American city of any in WestPac. Sunny afternoons saw a quorum of RUPERTUS bronze gods relaxing on the beaches of Repulse Bay and Deep Water Bay, while others preferred to cavort in the typical Hong Kong delights of Wanchai. Others spent their time exploring and taking pictures of the many beautiful sights, Kowloon, the New Territories, the Peak and Aberedeen with its incredible floating city. After shopping for the many special buys of suits, shoes, and jewelry, everyone enjoyed the many fine restaurants with the delightful cuisine. As we pulled out on a ship laden down with gifts, and sparkling with a Mary Soo paint job, we all looked forward to the next trip to Magic Town .
