Logos Hope

Logos Hope, the world's largest floating book fair, arrived in Kuching on 27th October 2011, and is open for visit from 28th October 2011 to 13th November 2011.

I've never visited a ship before, especially such big one, so I was so excited when I finally get the chance to go this morning.

The first thing we see when we entered. Forgot what it's called.

Photos on the wall, with the telescope in the middle.

Right in the middle of all the photos hanging on the wall.

The Nautical Bell.

Don't know what's this.

The Sextant, as stated on the sign.

Need me to explain this? This is the bookshelf. LOL.

After you visited the bookstore, you will pass through a road with pictures on the wall, telling a story about a guy who left house and met a group of "bad friends", and did all kinds of bad things, and finally regret, so he went back home, and was forgiven. This is the picture of the guy leaving his house. This picture actually have depth, but you can't really see it in this photo.

This is the next thing you'll see after passing through that road. You can put your head and hands into the holes. I did not play, though. Haha.

Then you will reach the cafe.

Pictures hanging on the wall of the cafe. Very nice indeed.

Oh, this puppet... When I see him, he's standing still. So I thought I could snap a clear picture of him, and...when he sees me, he wave his hand! Argghh, he's trying to be friendly, but this is what happen to his photo. -.- Actually I wanted to take a photo with him, but he just keep move forward with all the kids around him, and away he go...

Before we leave, we visited the toilet.

In front of the big mirror in the toilet with my camera. =)

High-class flush. Haha~ haven't seen one in Kuching.

When we're leaving, I saw sailors cleaning their ship. Unfortunately, we wasn't allowed to visit the whole ship. It was kinda disappointing... We were only allowed to visit such small part of the ship, and the book fair wasn't as large as I thought... I'm silly to think that the whole ship is actually a bookstore. Maybe I'm over excited, so I'm very disappointed. =(

I was very unlucky to bump into a group of primary school and middle school students paying a visit to the ship. You can imagine the place crowded with all the school students, running up and down, pushing and knocking people, and even blocking the way! They just stand in the middle of the road and talk, without realizing they are blocking the only road connecting the two rooms, and not hearing us saying "excuse me" until the old man behind me have to shout at them. -.-"
