Interesting things about France Grenoble

1. The lift has no close button. I was searching for the CLOSE button when I entered the lift for the first time

2. The city is very orderly with systems even for road cleaning. BUT they do not have a system for parking. The cars can just part anywhere and everywhere even at the middle of the road. zzz

3. The timing in Grenoble is 7hrs behind Singapore timing.

4. The entire city is a student's town. There are many students from all over the world here including Tunisia(Arab countries), Africa, Northern France, China (yes there are a lot)and Koreans. However, I have not seen any Indian here. Why?

5. It is a law in France that a module which is taught in english must be stated in advance to the students. Else, if one student in the class opposes to it being taught in English, it will be taught in French.

6. There is a large number of PRC and Koreans here. I have to admit that the Korean girls have great fashion sense even in this cold winter.

7. Most of the Chinese food stalls are in fact Vietnamese food stalls. One reason I heard is that French people can only get used to Vietnamese food! Still yet to find out if this is true.

8. There is a 5Euro Barber in Victor Hugo but no one has dared to tried it. So far the market rate still hovers at 10 to 20Euros.

9. When I thought French people spoke very fast, the lecturers speak even faster

10. It is finally snowing properly..
