Slamat barupagi ndug bala kaban dingan... anih kabar kinde? paguh2 ce yeh. <--- that's how Bidayuh say "Hello good morning beautiful people. Justin Bieber sucks". :) Out of topic... anyway, have you've ever heard about the world's largest floating book fair? Of course you have.
Now may be some of you here might be confused.. no it's not MV Doulos Phos - that is the world's largest library. The weird thing is, it's the only library where you can purchase books. Out of topic once again..
Back to my point, the world's largest book fair ship MV Logos Hope is here in Kuching from 28th Oct till 13th Nov 2011. (next port would be Kota Kinabalu, Sabah). Admission is RM 1.00 per head hunted and the opening hour is from 10 am till 10 pm. After party event on the deck is 10 pm till 2 am, Kim K is celebrating her single life again.
The fun things :
- You will get the experience of getting onboard of a ship - it smells like AirAsia flight cabin.
- Meeting with Caucasian, South Korean, French and etc etc on one ship.
- They accept debit cards too!
- Cafeteria is at the end of the fair.
- Super friendly crew.
The not so fun things :
- You will get seasick for being inside the ship after 10 minutes.
- Super crowded (peak hours), no toilets, nada, nicht, nil!
- Yes there are books, until you get one row section where there are only Bibles there (but you have to understand that this is a missionary ship - so, they sell Christian 'stuff') - take note Muslim friends :)
- When checking out books, they will ask whether you want give donations on your purchases or not - c'mon... sik kan la mok berkira pok? donate je la.. bapak hang tak rugi pown!
- Super not fun, one whole shelve dedicated for NARNIA and another one is guess what? - HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL, it was like Zac Effon just attacked the shelve.
- Oh ya.. be prepared, the crew might act like you don't know English, just chill - Sarawakian english is much more better than theirs'.
- Admission is RM 1.00 - it's cool, they need to refuel too right?
- No network receptions <------ your RM 2000.00 phone doesn't work inside, so no Foursquare check ins, Facebook, Twitter and etc. If you want to check in via Foursquare, do it at the parking lot or before you enter the ship.
- NO HARRY POTTER BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!
- What else to trash.. I need to pee.. gonna finish this post a.s.a.p. shit.
So, there you go! Don't be fool with what I write - I just want you guys to be more mentally prepared before going there. :) It's a missionary book fair.. so don't expect too much. :) Few pics I attached here for your viewing pleasure.

| My b*tches.. no really, those are the Christian cd albums. You can find plenty of Hillsongs here. |
