Show W RRENMAW PRI 6 2001 But they made inroads. So the three of us would go around and ch eking ut thl; ar a and make sure that people didn't get in trouble. My challenge was t k p th r ic n1cn from getting in trouble because they went wild over there. BBL: Really? WAR: They, the girls were too friendly and the fellows were happy to take advantage of it. Course there's always the problem of drinking and getting riotous. They had rickshaws in those days and it was, you know, very primitive, compared to today.

We went down to Hong Kong. At that time Hong Kong, it was unbelievable. There were boat people. There were thousands of boats tied to the docks, side-by-side. And there were people that lived on those boats that probably never got ashore because they just lived there. And the only way they could get ashore was they had to walk from boat to boat to boat. There were thousands of them and this was in 1948. Poverty and, of course, lots of garbage in the water. Hong Kong is an island but there' s a lot of water between there and the mainland jammed with boats and every other filthy thing that could be there. BBL: A toilet, was it? WAR: Yeah, it was everything. And when Joan and I got back there, just about twelve years ago, that had all been cleaned out. There was not a boat in there. They moved all those people into high rises, the government had. I really have to hand it to 36 |
