Logos Hope Penang

Logos Hope offers more than books and features a fully air conditioned deck that is open to the public to explore. The Welcome Experience, will introduces this new vessel through a short movie and various displays. The vessel also offers ice cream, drinks and snacks for everyone to enjoy at the International Café.There is an expanded selection of over 5000 books that covers a range of subjects including science, sports, hobbies on board. This includes children’s titles, academic texts, dictionaries, atlases and more.
After having Dim Sum with Mrs Chiu and her students, Caleb and his brothers, Xiao Ling, , Chenny etc, we departed to Swettenham Pier right at 10am. This is the first time i arrived at Swettenham Pier after being away for Penang for several months. When i was stepping into the Logos Hope ship, a few friendly staffs with their badge smiled and greeted us.I believe the staffs come from all over the world,there are Hong Kong, German, etc which i know.Indeed, there are really a huge collection of books for us to choose, ranging from fiction, biblical, spiritual, gardening, travel,health, transport, etc to even university reference text books. The bad thing is that after we went out of the cashier counter ,clearing our fees,little did we know that there are still university reference books on the shelf after the counter cashier. The university textbooks are sold in RM 40 for any 3. It is really WORTHY!but bad enough, I didn't pay much attention on the offer though there was a signboard stating ' Buy 1 Logos Hope bag for 3', i didn't know it was actually referring to the university textbooks, or else i would grab some of them!

At last, I have managed to snap a few free books and most if not all, have also managed to share some books with Mrs Chiu: The 101 of the world Heroes.Too bad, i didn't manage to get the books which i was desperately looking for: Killing the Mockingbird  and The journey to the center of the earth.

After all, the weather is nice and sunny, unlike yesterday, raining cats and dogs.

People grab for books which is so cheap. Only RM8 for 100 units. ( The easier currency converter)

I am glad to have dim sum with my lovely teachers and friends, and the trip to Logos Hope was a nice one=)
