Hong Kong Visit Proves
Enjoyable For Larry ftluessig
A visit to Hon Kong (or rest
nd recreation proved to be an
Interesting and enjoyable exper
ience lor Set. Larry Mueaslg
who went there during a rest
and recreation leave recently
from the flRhtinR In Vietnam.
Larry Is a graduate of Heppner
High school and attended Treas
ure Valley Community College.
He told of the trip In a letter
to the editor of The Gazette
Times. "It has been three weeks since
I returned from Hong Kong," he
wrote. "We have been hard hit
and much on the move. The
temperature has been In the
120's for weeks and working
higher.
"My R & R was wonderful
while it lasted. Five days In
the world's largest city. It is
made up of three main areas.
Hong Kong Island, Kowloon
(across the river, where I stay
ed), and the New Territories.
There are close to four mil
lion mixed people In the cities
alone. Quite close to the Red
China border. I stayed at the
President Hotel, which has 27
floors. Tours of both Hong Kong
and Kowloon sides leave from
your hotel. I took the Harbour
Cruise, which was a very de
lightful experience as the har
bour is the most beautiful and
busiest in the world. About 150,
000 people live their entire lives
on board junks and sampans in
the harbour. I went to the "Real
World of Susie Wong." Although
she was only fiction, I believe
It could have been taken from
a real live girl's life.
"I went to Aberdeen, which Is
an ancient fishing village with
a wonderful floating restaurant.
Also my last tour was the outer
island tour which took me to
the under-developed part of the
new territories, which was like

walking Into China's historic
past.
"Bv this time my five days
had ended. I said my goodbyes
to Hong Kong, taking with me
many memories which even here
now brings me a little happi
ness. I write all this to you be
cause I wanted to share the ex
perience. I'm not a very good
writer and I left out so much.
"I was much Impressed with
the people of China. In the short
visit I learned that you really
don't have to prove anything to
these people. They don't care
how great you are in the States,
or Vietnam. They accept you for
yourself. No matter your skin
color, religion, or belief. Myself,
I thing they have the right Idea.
"If man could band together
for the general and basic good
they can do for each other, and
not for themselves, well, I
wouldn't be where I am. There
would be no race riots, In all
a happy world. Maybe In some
distant time man will learn
these things. We can only hope
that time comes very soon.
"I have 108 days left. Thank
the Dear Lord I have survived
this long.
"Your paper Is still a great
sense of pleasure to me. May
God bless you, Wes, your fine
family, and all my friends in
Heppner. As always, Larry.'
