the doulos came to kuching from December 10, 2008 until January 3, 2009 for a floating book fair. the ship was purchased in 1977 by the GBA Ships - a charitable organization registered in Germany. it visited more than 100 countries ever since. "bringing knowledge, help & hope". our visit onboard was short, for the weather was extremely humid. although the price was awfully cheap, we ran off after buying only 1 book.
Dear Levian,
ReplyDeleteAs the end of 2008 is drawing near,
Gone are Santa and his reindeers,
And we all switch to high gears,
To celebrate the countdown of the coming year.
I want to let you know you’re a great blogger,
So much so that I’ve made myself your Follower,
It does not matter whether you are far or near,
You’ve brought me much laughters and tears.
So before you get drunk with that last glass of beer,
Waiting for 2009 to appear,
Let me wish you now and here,
A very happy & smashing new year!!
: )
This is so cool! I've been here in the same ship also! :)
