MB MARGARET ~l| FREEMAN Outside * Sales Rep. For many, the thought of "taking a slow boat to China" has been a'symbolic phrase for getting away from it all. Now, however, the possibility of taking a cruise to exotic Far Eastern ports of call is a definite possibility. The luxurious 485-passenger "Pearl of Scandinavia" makes first class voyages to the People's Republic of China, Indonesia and the Far East. There are three 14 day itineraries from which to choose, and twenty eight and forty-two day cruises are also available. All cruises leave from San Francisco or Los Angeles.
