Amsterdam city review


Hi guys!

 I just came back from a little two-days trip to Amsterdam and I have a couple of things to review.

 The thing I prefere there were the thrift stores: 
  • The Episode company:  their thrift stores were the best we found in town (really, I'm not joking): people were nice, and everything is line up by type of clothes and brands.
  • I didn't visit plenty of other stores (I did not have the time to do it) but if you want other good adresses, I suggest you to check this link: https://awesomeamsterdam.com/vintage-clothing-shopping-amsterdam/

My favorite place in the city was the palace: there is sort of a magical feeling when you enter this place,as everything is beautiful and huge.


I also liked the Van Gogh Museum: if you have to go to one museum in Amsterdam, you should go there, you already know why. (But be carefull to take your tickets at least two days before the day you want to go there, because they are often sold out on the day). 

 We ate at a cute place called De Knijp: the waiter was really nice and it is perfect for a romantic dinner (count 20 euros for a plate).

 If you have a trip to Amsterdam planned soon, I also suggest you to take a walk in the city, because houses are kind of peculiar, and it is different from all of the cities I have visited yet.

 But a city review about Amsterdam wouldn't be complete if it doesn't mentionned the red district and the coffee shops. 
  • The red light district: as you certainly know it, it is the place where the prostitutes are concentrated. It is particular, but if you go there you should visit the condomerie, which is a place where they sell particular condoms.

Fans de la vie impossible, Kate Scelsa l Book review

"Ensemble ils n'ont plus peur. Ensemble ils ne sont plus seuls"


Mira a survécu à une dépression et à une tentative de suicide et essaye de survivre, de se débarrasser de ses pensées noires. 
Sebby et Jeremy ont été victimes d'homophobie, dans des conditions assez différentes.

 Le début d'année s'annonce difficile, mais ils font comme ils peuvent, et quand Mira et Sebby rencontrent Jérémy, tout devient un peu plus facile.


 C'est un roman qui se lit d'une traite: chaque personnage est lié à un pronom personnel et chacun expose son point de vue. Les chapitres alternent de l'un à l'autre. 
Il m'a beaucoup touché dans le sens où les personnages sont attachants, mais aussi parce qu'il aborde des sujets que je trouve des plus importants, comme l'homophobie et l'ampleur des dégâts qu'elle peut provoquer (autant physiques que sur la personnalité), mais aussi la santé mentale. Ce livre traite de la dépression du point de vue interne de Mira, et non pas du point de vue des personnages "spectateurs" et on comprend au moins un peu la bataille qu'elle mène contre elle-même. 

 De mon côté, j'ai beaucoup apprécié ce livre dans le sens où il se lit facilement et que l'histoire est intéressante, mais j'ai eu du mal avec certains passages, où l'identification du lecteur devient plus compliqué car les personnages vivent comme dans un monde à part. Il n'en est cependant pas moins un véritable coup de coeur.

    Tortues à l'infini | John Green FR





    Un milliardaire en fuite, une récompense de 100 000 dollars à la clé. La question que tout le monde se pose: où est passé Russel Picket? Aza et Daisy lisent un article sur la récompense, puis Aza se demande comment va son ami d'enfance, Davis Picket, . C'est comme ça qu'Aza se retrouve avec sa meilleure amie Daisy à minuit sur la White River dans un vieux canoë, puis à accoster au domaine Pickett. C'est le début d'une aventure, lorsque celui-ci lui donne 100 000 dollar en liquide, pour être sûr qu'elle soit sincère avec lui et ne veuille pas uniquement la récompense promise par la police. A côté de cela, Aza voit une psychologue depuis des années et sa maladie ne va pas en s'arrangeant. Le quotidien plutôt "banal" d'une jeune fille en dernière année de lycée en somme.
    Un roman émouvant, qui donne une nouvelle image des maladies mentales, ou plutôt un film, comme un millier de métaphores pour les décrire. L'écriture de John Green, toujours aussi efficace, nous donne un doux mélange de sérieux et d'humour, avec des personnage qui déjouent tous les clichés.

     Un livre qui nous donne envie de donner le meilleur de nous même, de comprendre ce qui compte, mais aussi qu'il y a des choses sur lesquelles nous n'avons aucun pouvoir.

    The fujifilm polaroid maker. You take pictures every day, but this makethem more peculiar: they last forever (okay, I'm being a little overdramatic with this sentence, but confess it sounds good)

    Those christmas lights upon my bed, I think I'm gonna let them like this

    Herbal tea, I was totally sick quick before NYE and this saved my night

    The song Anywhere, by Rita Ora, even if it's a little sad it just makes me feel happy
