Weekends were the best choice for me, I could borrow the concession smart rider from Grace, the price for taking the public vehicles is much cheaper.
It's around 30 minutes from Perth city to Fremantle. Duolos was just berthing at C Shed. It's mysterious for me because of the generous and selfless crew.

After boarding the ship, I met a crew who is a cute Korean girl. Due to my curiosity, I asked her some questions. According to her words, all the crew on the ship are Christian, they drift with this historic monster which was built in 1914, is the world's oldest active ocean-faring passenger ship and is used as a floating bookshop. In order to work on the ship, the crew must contract with doulos before boarding, they contribute without any payment, even have to raise money for the ship.

Their generosity encouraged me to see if any Taiwanese on this ship, I tried to ask the crew for help. The answer was "Yes". There were 5-8 Taiwaneses at most on the ship. The receptionist called a Taiwanese for me whose name is Lydia. She guided me to go around on the ship. Actually I you wanna to stroll around on the ship, you have to join the tour that charges you. But she gave me a private tour without any payment. I really admire her to leave far away from her home and move with the Duolos. I think the power to support her is the religion which I can't comprehend.

One more thing to attract me is that I find a Taiwan flag on the ship, besides there is another flag that I forget what it is, anyway I don't care.
