First week

First week passed..

The first week is an awesome spending week.. Got all the kitchenwares, bedsheets from IKEA and got lots of food so that I can cook at home..

The baguette shop near our house is the best baguette I have ever eaten (trust me).. Even for a serious rice-lover, I am now totally in love with that =P Slowly becoming my staple food alr! LOL~ ..

Travelling in Grenoble has been fairly easy.. The first thing that we needed to know is which is the tram and which is the bus and the direction it is heading.. Once you are clear with that, check out the timings at the bus stop.. It is very accurate.. Really an eye opener that their transport system is so high tech..

I felt that although the technology in Singapore is high, every system is by itself and a new technology is used to solve one problem .. In the future, when the system is not needed, the technology is discarded..
On the contrary, in grenoble, the transport system is v united.. Maybe this is because the entire system is by one single company and hence, there is one standardised system.. In fact, I realised that even the card in the universities can be used uniformly throughout the entire uni.

Do note that Grenoble is made up of many universities (Joseph Fourier, INPG, etc)and yet they have one standardised system which uses just a simple card scanning.. This is something I feel Singapore is lacking.. One standardised system which can be uniformly used.. =)
