I'm in a library - though not one I recognise.

It's a nice place. It feels very comfortable in here, and I see that there are all sorts of displays hung up about the room. At first I think they are written in Portuguese (a language I'm learning at the moment), but it seems they're in a Middle Eastern language. One of them has something to do with Iran.

Then I find another area. There's a book there whose title I clearly make out:

"The LIon Who Ate the World"

I'm climbing a ladder in the library, reaching for the book. I keep my eyes on the title, as a pretty and somehow intriguing young woman walks through the aisle behind me.

o_o why are you learning Portuguese, out of curiosity?

Was that title in Portuguese too?

The whole book x lion thing reminds me of Narnia, though there's no World-eating there (as far as I know...)

Oi Rodrigo..

Estou aprendendo português porque eu gostaria de morar no Brasil no ano próximo, então é importante para mim agora. Também acho que outro idioma é um chave importante para entender outras perspectivas / maneiras diferentes de viver. Gostaria de ler mais em português, vc tem sugerências? :)

How did I go? :) Don't worry, I'm used to making mistakes.

No actually the title of the book was in English. I wonder if this world-eating business has to do with wanting to have a broader perspective of the world than the one I'm familiar with.
