Chinese New Year In Hong Kong
Provides Noisy Exciting Fun
The Peninsula Hotel was
sound asleep and so were we
shortly — to wake in the morn
ing to a breath taking view
out on the harbor of that fas
cinating city. To our dismay
we discovered that we were to
be there over the Chinese New
Year — fun to see but death
on tailoring
We rushed like mad and by
dint of small extra sums of
money and a lucky break Bob
was able to have some things
made in the one day before
the holiday. Actually some of
the holiday had started the day
The night was made hideous
by exploding firecrackers and
everyone in the world seemed
to be either piling onto the
trains heading up for the bor
der or on the ferries going
back and forth to Hong Kong.
We enjoyed every minute of it
all.
Ronnie and Stephanie had us
for lunch
their beautiful
apartment high on a hill over
looking Repulse Bay and some
of the members of the Medical
School faculty to meet us. We
all nearly froze because those
great stone buildings have no
heat of any kind and a chill
north wind was blowing fierce-
ly-
It was quite like England to
find us all gathered around a
one • burner, inadequate heat-
Ronnie and Bob finally
could bear it no longer and de
cided to invest in a few fire
crackers.
So as evening came on we
found ourselves on the terrace
of an ancient Portuguese mon
astery. which is used as one of
the dormitories, setting off pin
wheels and rockets against a
palm tree background. Tre
mendous fun.
Setting Like Novel
The Peninsula Hotel at morn
ing coffee and afternoon tea
was just like the setting from
a novel and we loved it all.
We ran into the Wickmans from
Portland and had a delightful
dinner with them. Then some
people we had met on the
plane turned up, so that all
in all it was a very pleasant
holiday.
We took a car one day and
rode up into the New Terri
tories to look across the border
at Communist China. Actually
most of the refugees now are
crossing
the Portuguese
island of Macao just down the
coast, but we were told that
during the New Year holiday
many would try to come on the
railroad.
The Hong Kong government
has done a super ■ human job,
it seems to me, in resettling
these hordes of people who have
descended on the tiny penin
sula of Kowloon We visited one
of the resettlement buildings,
By our standards, one room
with a barred door in a tene-
ment with several hundreds
(maybe thousands» of others
seems pretty grim, but they
seem accustomed to many peo-
pie in a small space and
tainly there is work in the city
for everyone.
Many textile factories
springing up and all sorts of
industry is booming From
our window we could watch the
train setting forth for the north
every morning and returning in
the evening.
One used to be able to
on and travel to Canton and
Peiking but now one must get
out at the river which is the
border and walk across the no
man's land between to board
another
train
and
we, of
course, cannot go there at all.
