A few weeks ago, I went to the Floating Book Fair in Manila. A ship called Logos Hope was docked at Pier 15 of the Manila South Harbor. It is open from 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. from Tuesday to Saturday, and it will remain here in Manila until March 30.
From taft, I rode a jeep to Quiapo, and the jeepney driver let me off at a road where jeeps that went to Pier 15 passed by. When I was riding the Pier 15 jeep, I thought that once I passed by the harbor, I would see it, so I didn’t ask the driver to tell me if we were at Pier 15 already. It was a long jeep ride until I finally asked the driver “Malayo pa ba ung Pier 15?” and he said, “Naku, lampas na. Sige iikot naman tayo.”
When I arrived at the right stop, I had to walk quite a bit to get to the ship. There’s a P20 entrance fee and a briefing about the ship. I went inside the main bookstore, but I didn’t find any books I liked. Disappointed, I went past the cashier, and proceeded to the exit. Then, I discovered that there were more books! There were piles and piles of really informative textbooks that was 3 for P500. I bought six. They are all super thick, and some of them have CDs. Here are the books that I bought:
