During year 2006, that was the first time I heard about MV Duolos. Duolos is a ship that was built in 1914, 2 years later than the great Titanic. Hence, it is 95 years old now! Duolos is owned by GBA Ships e.V. (previously known as Good Books for All), a private, non-profit, charitable organization registered in Germany, whose idea is to have a floating book fair on the ship. This ship will travel all around the world and thus, introducing the culture of reading to every part in the world. All the crew on the ship serve volunteers. No salary is paid.
I wish to visit this special book fair since 2006 and finally Pei Quan made my wish comes true. This year Duolos is back to Pasir Gudang Ferry Terminal again from September 24 to October 7. On Saturday, we went to visit the book fair.
The entrance fee for the book fair is RM1 each person. Upon entering, we need to check for temperature to make sure we are "Fever free".
Can you see the blue sticker on our clothes?
This is the famous Duolos ship.
The ladder is a bit hard to climb up if you are wearing high heels.
Let have a look on the technical data for the ship.
The Duolos bow and main mast.
Besides book, there are also CD on sale.
The life boat for Duolos.
Most of the book shown in the fair are in English. There is a small section of book in Mandarin also. However, the variety of book is mainly for children. The price for the book is counted in units, where 100 units equivalent to RM8.
There are so many people there. The space for the ship is quite limited. Thus, it is quite hot inside the deck.
There is a counter selling icecream at there, each cost RM2.50. The icecream is quite creamy.
We strolled around for about 2 hrs there and have a short conversation with a volunteer-Mr Marcio on ship. He is friendly in answering our question.
The instruction on how to launch a lifeboat.
Pei Quan is trying to climb up to the upper deck.
After that, we went to jusco bukit indah.
Co-incident with the mid autumn festival, there is a stage well decorated with traditional lantern at the center of the shopping mall.
