Doulos

I didn't post any yesterday because I was too exhausted and excited. So, this is it! Where all the fun began! It all began at 7am in the church where everyone sees each other and talks about it. And there were some short briefing given. There are many people. There are 3 buses, Bus A, Bus B and Bus C but poor thing Bus C can't make it because of the tyre that is twice being flat. How sick. So, we reached church at 7 and supposed to go by 7.15 but because of the flat tyre, we went at 8, i think.

At 12pm, we reached Star Cruises, Port Klang, where the Doulos ship is just behind the building. It was terrific!You can see many people and meet many new friends too! The workers in the ship are all from around the world. And to come to think of them again, they are nice people and great to talk to!

Its so much fun when you step into the ship. But the most scarriest part is when you have to go up the ship using a metal thingee. It's so scary as you feel like it's going to break into two! The first destination in the ship is to the bookshop. It's packed with people and I didn't manage to snap because too warm and I was exhausted to snap. The books there are so cheap that a CD costs less than RM5 depending on how many units left. A CD has 3 songs.

It all ends when everyone is so tired in the bookshop's packed of people. So, my uncle went to ask a Mongolian worker, Tuby Bold, to go around the ship. Inside, outside, left, right. laughs. So, the lady went to call for a guy to be our tour guide. So, he came. He is only allowed to bring 7 people to the ship. Not more than that. No means no. yea. So, the fun begans here where you can meet many people and talk to them while they are working. In the ship, there are so many things. School, clinic, kid's playground, family cabin, kitchen, cabin cleaning, public phone, and many stuff more. It's very exploring! And cool too!

My aunt and uncle and not forgetting Mr. Daniel Critchlow[UK]

Mr. Daniel brought us around the ship. The frame behind them is a combination of all the pictures of the countries' flags, prime ministers of the ship that they have visited. And so, they use a lot of imagination in this things. Incredible eh? Let's go around the ship.

This huge rope is used to tie on the back of the ship to a tiang. Looks easy but it's very hard to get the knot right.

And then, we went upstairs of this knot thingee. There is a children's playground. It's cute and nice. And not forgetting, clean!

And this is the place where they make food. Looks like they are making for hundreds of people. Yes, they are really making for hundreds of people. As many as 350 workers in the ship. Everybody is really busy in the kitchen. And its my first time looking at a bakery machine and hundreds of chickens!

And we went to the engine of the ship where you can find yourself so warm until you feel that you can sweat.

And we ended our tour in the dining room that is quite a big place. The tables are filled with nice cute pictures. The children are adorable in the pictures. So, we asked some questions and talked to Mr. Daniel and laughed.

Its a very good trip. This is my first time stepping into a ship.
