Doulos sailed into Singapore
I have read a lot about Doulos but have never visited it. So, I was overjoyed when I knew it is docking in Singapore in mid November 2006. Most importantly, I want to make sure my kids do not miss this rare chance to visit the floating book fair, on board the world’s oldest active ocean-going passenger ship, as recognized in the Guinness Book of World Records.
My children were thrilled to realize that they can browse and purchase books on board a ship, in addition to the book shops in Shopping Malls. Although the internet is widely used these days, it is amazing to note that over 18million visitors, around the world have been welcomed on board. There is a wide selection of books, ranging from children books, motivational, self enrichment books, to religious materials. I especially salute the crew members and respect the mission of Doulos, that is, “Bringing Knowledge, Help and Hope to the people of the World”. I strongly recommend a visit to this unique book fair.
