Even the young babies, who didn't look old enough to talk would wiggle dirty little hands and pipe "money, money." At/ night the lights of Hong Kong formed winding patterns around the hillside, It was hard to tell where the lights on the hilltop ended and where 'stars in the sky began. Then the moon made a pathway on the ocean and I can remember feeling thankful for its quietness after the. 3 dinning noises of the thronging streets. Skirting a typhoon or rather with a typhoon skirting us, we ploughed through the waters, "where the flying fishes play" and eventually landed at Manilla. Here 'we had tropical climate and saw tropical growth. Manilla is Americanized, but there are parts, like the walled city, which still breathe the romance of Old Spain.

I was then informed that they had been singing in English. Most of the children have Spanish names and to my unaccustomed ears they sounded yards long. They all study English at school. In the old sections there still remained Spanish writing. Nunerous' two wheeled cabs or "Carromata" are used. They are drawn by tiny'ponies. - At odd places there would be roosters tied by the leg. These were prize fighters, kept for the sport of cock fighting. As we had several days in Manilla, we took one of them to motor into the country. The good winding roads led us by rice fields, sugar plan- tations, pineapple farms and cocoanut groves. Although the people on the whole dress in American style, yet there are a few who still retain the native costume, which consists of a large, puffy sleeved waist and long full skirts.
