Itis Huk Crowded

This district has become so popular this season that no more accommodation is available there up to the end of August, as everything is already either occupied or booked, and those who have not made arrangements will have to look for accommodation in the more plebeian but certainly more lively Strand district, er in town where good quarters may still be obtained if a distance of approximately 1% miles from the Strand Beach does not mean anything.

The China Enterprises in Shanghai, run by an old Tsingtao resident, could probably advise and put intending visitors in touch with the best places to stay.

Cycling has become very popular here. Children and even the more portly of both sexes are enjoying the, benefits to be derived from pedalling bikes around town. Besides the exercise to be derived from this mode of transport, argument and bickering with none too polite shaw-coolies are avoided.
