Walking to town great strain particularly wet weather. Thinking moving Central. Depressing see neighbours all pushing out one by one, leaving us.
Charlie Suen going Macao. Says costs him Y4,000 monthly to live. He eight kids. We five, but our living very poor, cost under Y1,500. Bill Shea was thinking of going. Now says changed mind. Sister Rose Peters by time got to Macao spent enough for eight months' chow. Also things dear there, crowded and unhealthy.
Rose Souza moving Club Lusitano on advice from Portuguese who say she isolated.
