Woke up early Saturday morning and found out that the kids did not have to co-curriculum classes (what? really?! We have a Saturday free?!!) So immediately i told my wife “Let’s go visit Logos Hope!”
Actually, in all the many times Doulos has visited Malaysia, I have never had the chance to visit it, so it has been kind of a big regret for me. Now that Doulos has been decommissioned, i rather not miss the chance to visit Logos Hope this time around.
So after dim sum at my new favourite restaurant, we drove down straight all the way along the Kesas and arrived at the Cruise Centre.
Waiting to enter the parking. RM3 to park is a little steep, no?
The new Cruise Centre building. By the way, who’s Glenn?
Lots of clear signage to point you to the right direction.
There it is at the end of a long jetty. That huge ship behind it is Superstar Virgo.
Man, Superstar Virgo is HUUUGE…
It actually looked a little weather-beaten up close.
First of all, a little short introduction to the ship.
As far as bookshops go, its smaller than you’re average MPH. But just a slightly different selection of books. Lots of children books.
When we first arrive, the crowd was still manageable. After 10 minutes, it was really starting to get packed.
Taking photo with some guy with a big head.
The cafeteria had limited seating, plus ice-cream was RM5 per scoop, so we gave it a pass.
“Oi, up in front! Stop blocking the gangway! It’s drizzling!!!”
So all in all, it was just for the experience to visit Logos Hope and supporting their non-profit cause. Who knows how many years it will be for them to return here.

Hi Simon!! Haha… what a small world! I searched for Logos Hope Port Klang and your blog was the 2nd on the google results. Didn’t realise it was you until I scrolled down the photos and saw your wife and kids! 🙂 My family and I just went there yesterday, it was a great fun experience but SUPER crowded! ~ Lisa (previously from CBC)

Heard about it but didn’t go. A bookstore in a ship is much more appealing 🙂
