We went to MV Doulos yesterday, I thought it opens at 10am but when we arrived, it says open at 2pm. So we went for a drink and some walk and came back at 2pm. The first thing we saw was this century old ship docking at the habour.
After my invissible friend and I went on the ship, we looked around and took some photos. Then we continued to the bookshop. The bookshop on MV Doulos, is the World largest floating bookshop. There are many variaties in the bookshop including song CDs and DVDs, well what I can say is that the bookshop is like a christian bookshop with some cookbooks and children books.
After that, we went down to take another photo. The photo above shows my invissible friend and me. For some reasons, my friend turned invissible whenever we take photo... hm..For your information, this is the final time MV Doulos visiting Kuching. The ship was built in 1914 and had been in commision in as a frieghter in World War II, converted to a motor vassel and serve as a passenger ship (Wikipedia). In 1977, Gute Bücher für Alle - GBA, previously known as Good Books for All, a private, non-profit, charitable organisation registered in Germany (MV Doulos). The ship is to be de-commisioned at 2010. The ship is going to be in Kuching till 3rd of January, so hurry up pick pick up some souvenirs before it's too late! :)
