Logos Hope
11:00 PM
The Logos Hope is the largest floating book fair in the world. The Logos Hope is operated by a German charitable Christian organization. Their staffs are volunteers from all over the world.
I remember a few years back that a boat named MV Doulos also came here in the Philippines with the same motive. The MV Doulos was sold that is why its been replaced by the Logos Hope.
Just last Sunday, my friends and I visited the Logos Hope. We went there in the afternoon and when we arrived, there aren't a lot of people. We fall in line to get a ticket which would cost P 20.00.
When we went inside the boat, there you could really see a lot of people. When you reach the entrance, you would take a seat and check out the history of the boat through a short video. Beside the area, you will also see frames of the history of the boat.
After checking on the history of the boat, you will be led to another room which would contain the different books from different categories such as nature, family, fiction, cooking, sports, spiritual, children and more. We tried to check out the books there but didn't purchase one. The books aren't priced in peso but they call it units.
100 Units would be equal to P 100.00 and so on.
Some books could reach up to a thousand units so you always have to check out the price.
There are also souvenirs of the Logos hope such as caps, mugs, baller, pens and more.
After you have chosen and purchased the books you like, you will then be led to another room which would give you different pictures. Those pictures creates a story and from my opinion is from the Bible which is the Prodigal Son story.
It's the new generation of the Prodigal Son story.
The last room that you will be taken to on the boat would be the Cafe area. This is where you could take your snacks. The story area awhile ago and the cafe was not found in the MV Doulos.
Since we were hungry, we purchased from the cafe their cake which costs P 80.00, lemonade juice for P 20.00, waffle for P 60.00 and ice cream for P 50.00.
I'm not quite sure if it was my taste buds that were not used to those foods or if it's really the taste - it isn't good. The cake seems spoiled or maybe it was the peach and the lemonade doesn't taste good also. My friends would agree with me on that.
The food that we really enjoyed was the waffle and the ice cream.
Aside from the cafe in the area, there are staffs that would sing Christian songs. I'm not quite sure if they are just practicing or performing it for the people. There is also an area on the boat which is the Life X-Perience booth but I'm not sure what they usually do there. It might be an area where you could reflect.
So far its another experience on this boat. We might not have purchased any books but we enjoyed seeing the boat and what is in it.
