Many of you probably have heard about MV Doulos. It's in Kuching now from 11 Dec 08 until 2 Jan 09 at Sim Khen Hong Port, Pending. This oldest passengers' ship (built in 1914) is now carrying millions of books to be sold areound the world. We call it the floating bookstore.
The port staff riding a bike.
People queing to board the ship.
Even kids were excited to see the ship.
I took the photo and made it old since it was built in 1914.
The front view. Reminded me of Titanic movie.
Probably when I have the time to go inside i'll post another photos.

I think in year 2007 this ship has come to Sabah..and yes, I spend more than RM200 hehehehhe
I've never heard about this book fair. Are they coming to Peninsular?
Went to this ship when I was young... Nothing much to see for me.. but the crew was interesting as they are from all over.
I'm going! I'm going! I'm going! See my long-adrift friend who's been volunteering in this ship since 8 years ago. I'm going! Books make nice Christmas presents.
