1957

In Keelung, Formosa, our first sight was the proud flag of Nationalist China, flying atop ships and buildings. Here is truly one of the World's most important outposts. The city itself offered little in the way of entertainment but there were ample opportunities for camera enthusiasts to capture both native culture and scenic beauty. If we forget all else, the odors of Kneeling cannot possibly escape our memories.
And, of course, there was the usual bone of contention for all-----the ricksha drivers.
