Have you ever seen a ship which contains so many books, school supplies and many more? It seemed it was the largest floating bookstore in the whole world and it’s true it was said to be the World’s Largest Floating Bookstore. If you have seen that bookstore what would you do, will you just watched the books inside or will you buy some which you intend to buy since you heard the word MV Doulos. Here are some experiences that I have encountered inside Doulos.
Before the sun came out, I was already awake. I took a bath, ate and finally I wore my Intramural’s shirt and my black pants and I immediately went to school for an exciting trip to Doulos. After we were done to our last subject in the morning, I eat directly so that I could catch up with my classmates in the jeep which brought us to Doulos. After a long travel with some fun inside the jeep while ongoing at last we arrived to where Doulos was located.
When I step out from the jeep, my excitement was intensified. I directly fell in line until I reached the top. There I entered a room full of books, cd’s, school supplies and some souvenir items. I roamed around hoping that I could find some interesting items but unfortunately I didn’t find one. After several minutes of searching for pretty and useful books finally I found a big book of crossword puzzle, a comic book, a story book and etc. I read some but I didn’t buy them all. Suddenly I fell bored and to satisfy my boredom I roamed around not just in the bookstore but around the ship. There I found another fun.
Leaving the bookstore was not that easy. At the time when I went outside the store using the exit gate I couldn’t go inside anymore because security was strict and policy first was their concerned. When I was outside I saw my classmates and schoolmates and then I approached them. Several minutes passed by more and more people were coming. My teacher in English, Mr. Montejo asked one of the crew of the ship to pleased let us go back inside because he said that we have just mistakenly entered the area. So the crew led us to the other path of the ship.
When we got back inside the ship I wondered why we entered a different room. There I saw some tables, chairs, a wide screen, small T.V’s, different flags from different countries and some foreign crews and staffs instead of books, cd’s and other school supplies. It was then called as the ship’s activity center. It was not that big or small but it’s enough for us. A crew from
After that unforgettable experienced of mine. We went outside immediately and thanked the members of the ship for treating us well. Then my classmates and I together with some teachers went home directly.
