27 Jun -

Slept late after all good intentions
& a 7:30 call - Pick up 6 shirts
at ascot [?] - [illegible] are or - looks good
hat to China Fleet club - after T-Bone
lunch - bought another Minox - Tried on
some sweaters - [rejustenatos arcussist?] size
I'd have spent some more money -

Wandered around Hong Kong - picked up
Terry's Banjo strings along the way &
a Bachelor cook book - Ferry ride again
[illegible] to Lee Kee! to pick up Foy's shoes
but I didn't have the slip with me - walked
back to [illegible] - [entrusting?] [illegible] - minor
traffic [Bang?] - tail to - almost started a
[pist?] - a dozen people started yelling &
people came running from everywhere - !
Easy to visualize & potentially explains popular
cop jumped in offenders car & got the
Hell out! fast - crowd slowly dispersed.

Now its back to lee Kee for shoes and then
later back to the den for dinner & last night.

Did my duty with a few post cards & letters
to the Home Front.

Bad news - Putting on Rank noticed
that trousers looked funny - it appears

they washed my original [?] [?]
uniform trousers! - they're now 4 sizes
smaller - [illegible] to tailor down the street
& he says hell have a new pair in my room [illegible]
[illegible]

Dinner late a Eagles nest & "The Den"
swinging. - Ran into a couple of old crochetts
at the Bar - Air Force OK Pilot with honors &
a Ex-Navy [illegible] recently having completed
ferry [illegible] of [illegible] for Army from LA to Bancock
across the Pacific in a day - great fun - and
[illegible] as Air Force and I might the conversation
drifted that way continually -

The Den was great as usual - really think
I missed the boat by not coming there earlier &
more often. Eagles Nest was beautiful but ration
exorbitantly esxpensive - even by Hong Kong standards
Caught last Ferry to Kowloon & in bed by 2:00
