M/V Logos Hope~ (the floating book fair)
Went there with Jerick a few weeks ago and getting there was a challenge since we got lost, like twice or thrice…ahaha! Also, we bumped into some of our classmates on board and the more the merrier!~ :)))
The 20-peso entrance fee was quite a steal since everything inside the ship was just pretty and quite educational. The books they sell are priced reasonably and a wide variety of them can be chosen from. Jerick actually got to buy some books for 500 pesos. Actually, it’s not the books that are valued as such but this souvenir bag (that’s like just any mesh bag we see in groceries) that we have to buy for 500 pesos (units, actually) and we can already choose 3 FREE books from their special pile. Jerick got a financial management book, a supply-chain, and an operations management book (so IE eh?). As for me, I ended up buying nothing since I got a lot of choices but can’t decide which one to buy.
Going through the open-for-public area is like actually going in a maze or route. First thing we see upon entering is their receiving area adjacent with some displays of a cabin and a steering simulator, and some of the ship’s history and infos on the wall. Entering their book store is just like going in to the usual book store we see in malls, the only difference is that its in a ship…hehe.. The special piles of books where Jerick got to buy is situated in another room, where after it is an area where pictures are displayed on the wall depicting about life and God. A German lady narrated the parable of the Prodigal Son while going through the whole area. At the end of it is their mini viewing room where a projector screen is laden for viewing purposes. Upon exiting, their International Cafe greeted us where we bought some soft-served ice cream, lemonade, and a Bounty bar. The foods/drinks are quite pricey, but its okay since we can’t really have this on a day-to-day basis.
The whole experience was fun, an learning-wise, it was great! I hope I can go on-board again once they get back a year after or so~ :))
