「燦爛時光東南亞主題書店」簡介（2017 ver.）
新北市中和區的南勢角，是緬甸華人在台灣的聚集區，也是「燦爛時光東南亞主題書店」的所在地。不過，「燦爛時光」不只希望與緬甸族群、東南亞移民工交朋友，也希望接觸所有的異鄉人、本地人。希望異鄉人能在翻閱母語書時眼睛一亮，也希望本地人在這裡發現世界的多元與美妙，找到自己的燦爛時光。
「燦爛時光」有東南亞各國文字的書籍、文物、手工藝品，也有中文、英文的東南亞主題書籍。二樓的木地板空間，展覽東南亞移民工的畫作、舉辦東南亞講座、放映非主流紀錄片。三樓的教室，則是東南亞語言的交流場所。
「燦爛時光」的書籍來源和流通方式都很不一樣。這些書來自「帶一本自己看不懂的書回台灣」的運動，由善心人士捐贈。如果你要把這些書帶回家，必須「原價借出（不打折）」，但是還書時，則可領回原價。為了讓同一本書的前後讀者透過書籍交流，感受彼此的溫度，「燦爛時光」也鼓勵讀者在書本上畫線畫記號、寫眉批寫心得。而為了讓更多異鄉人有機會看書，2016年起的每個星期天下午一點到五點，我們也在台北車站大廳F24柱子旁提供借閱服務。
「燦爛時光」這個名字，來自天下雜誌替已故學者成露茜所出版的傳記《燦爛時光：Lucie的人生探索》。Lucie一生大開大闔、勇於探索，無論身在何處，都能找到燦爛時光。畢竟，真正燦爛的不是陽光、不是星光，而是善良又好奇的靈魂。

Brilliant Time: Southeast Asia-themed Bookstore
Brilliant Time: Southeast Asia-themed Bookstore is located near Huashin Street (aka. Myanmar Street) in Nanshijiao, New Taipei City. It’s a place where it embraces different cultures and diversity, hoping to be a warm and open place for both locals and migrants.
Being more than just a bookstore, we also hold art exhibitions, talks, film showings, language classes within this tiny yet multi-functional space.
We lend books instead of selling them. If you would like to borrow books, you may put down the list price of the books as deposit and then you can hold it as long as you want. When you feel like returning the books, the refund will be given back to you. Moreover, we encourage you to take notes on books that your thoughts and ideas would pass on and create communication with the following readers. Besides, starting from 2016, Brilliant Times Bookstore has begun its mobile library in the lobby of Taipei Main Station from 2pm to 6pm every Sunday.
The name “Brilliant Time” is inspired by the respectable deceased scholar Lucie Cheng and her biography “Linkin Our Lives”. In her whole life, she had always been an adventurer. What she left us with an important lesson of life is that:
‘No matter where you are, you can always find your brilliant time by a soul of curiosity and kindness.’
