On the Title

Roi-Et a.k.a. "101" is a city in the northeast of Thailand. I spent more than "One Night in Bangkok," and was on my way to Roi-Et. It wasn't my final destination in Thailand, but the place where I grew the most. I gained a tolerance for spicy food, and learned a little dialect called Essan-- a mixture of Laos and Thai. I learned that it's not the destination but the journey that matters. Just as random as my adventures were in Thailand, so is my life--it's like living in L.A. (oh by the way L.A. is another nickname for Roi-Et).

Livre des Rêves

The Night CircusThe Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The Night Circus is a magical book, and I like magic. It is told in a nonlinear way, and Morgenstern's style is unique and fresh. This is a book that you have to pay attention to the chapter titles, locations, and dates, or you can get lost very easy--like the labyrinth. Because of the structure of the book the mystery/climax is more intense, exciting, and emotional.



While reading, the author brought me into a world that was misty and dreamy, like the rêveurs'.



The characters are unique and have an unreal, but real quality to them, like they belong in this world of dreams--a contortionist with tattoos that are not typical tattoos, a clockmaker who creates a "dreamlike" clock and only he has the skill to do such a feat, twin redheads who can read people the stars and train kittens, and leading the cast 2 magical foes who fall in love.
