While in Kyoto we visited the Heian Shrine with it's vermillion build- ings and Japanese garden, the Golden Pavilion, and the Nija Castle that held a fine specimen of Japanese architecture. The wooden floors played a song as you walked upon them (called nightingale floors) and would quickly tell if a stranger were in the castle. It was difficult to say good- bye to our friends, but it was time for a drive to Osaka, Japan and a flight to Bangkok, Thailand. Our stay in this fascinat- ing country was all too short, but we did have an opportunity to take a launch excursion_on the Chai Phraya River, view the floating markets, the Temple of Dawn and Royal Barges. In the evening we ate a typical Thai dinner and saw a performance of the Thai classical and folk dances. We were surprised to learn that the rice grown in Thailand is the best in the world and after eating it we can hardily agree. Our next flight brought us to a warmer climate as Singapore is located just one degree north of the equator and the tempera- ture and humidity were the same—9S degrees. Singa- pore is the cleanest city in the Orient and everywhere you see banners saying ““Courtesy is Our Way of Life.” The next stop was the **jewel of the Orient’’'— Hong Kong. The Wan Chai waterfront district was most unusual because it was here we saw the “‘water people’’ who live in junks. Our journey continued to Repulse Bay. Again the Sloans had the pleasure of meeting a young man. He was born and raised in Pennsylvania, is now living in Hong Kong an is teaching art in the Poly Technic College. Our return trip to Tokyo was to attend the 69th International Rotary Con- vention. The Japanese are fabulous Rotarians and the way they handled the 39.000 Rotarians and guests will long be remem- bered. The convention was inspiring with many excel- lent speeches. The Eshlemans and Shaeffers left Tokyo to return to the United States while the Sloans returned via Hawaii. They were able to visit four islands. Their next stop was California, and the 13th flight returned them to Pennsylvania. All of us were filled with the wonder of being 7000 miles away from home and the joy of visiting the Orient will remain always.
