Tonight we were invited to a special get-together at the U.S. Embassy, a short taxi ride from our
neighborhood. We needed to show our passports to a guard at the gate before being allowed into the "compound," where some U.S. diplomats and their families live. The surroundings inside the compound reminded us of a typical American neighborhood, with apartment buildings, a park where some boys were tossing around a football, a swimming pool, and even an American grocery store. The party was held at the community center, and included entertainment by this group of talented Polynesian musicians and dancers from the nearby Yokosuka American military base.
