Vizille!!




Vizille is a city which is in 49 km from Grenoble.
We can walk in the park of Vizille which is hundred hectares.
In this park, there is a castle, of type revival. We cannot visit it but there is a museum. The park is opened to the public. We can walk in the middle of the nature, to see animals as gooses, ducks, swans, herons, barnacles...




I already went into this park with a friend, we drived one hour to leave Grenoble centers and to go to Vizille. We found place quickly on a free parking. We walked approximately 10 min to arrive to the park. The entrance is free, like the visit of the museum. We decided to make a whole ballot of the park. In the middle of the park, we can observe herons, barnacles and the others.





There is a hut in which we rise to observe them better. We continue our stroll and return to the castle, where is a small lake with swans, ducks, gooses...





We stayed a small moment there. Then, we left in the car. It was a very good afternoon, to make when the weather is beautiful, to walk and cross a good moment between friends or with family.

After your final status update

1- He asks how technology is going to evolve to allow the dead persons to continue to live thanks to holograms, or internet with Facebook, Twitter, etc. and also thanks to information which the persons, still alive, put on these interfaces. We can find photos, texts, videos... He invites us to see a new aspect of the world, the virtual world.

2-Adam Ostrow explains that our digital persona can be immortal thanks to technology. She allows us to continue to communicate with our family or our friends after our death. It uses information which we leave on Facebook or the other one when we are still alive.
Technology, evolves every day a little more. In the future we can ask how we are going to interact with our close relations after our death. Adam Ostrow speaks about hologram and gives us the example of the singer Will.i.am or still the robot with who we could communicate.

3-For me, it is a very bad idea. The persons who we lost have to stay in past. We have to continue to live, without forgetting them, but without that they are present. I find it well to keep photos, videos, to forget never their memory, but we do not have to ask for it more the nature. A dead person cannot interact naturally any more with alive people and it is unhealthy to want to keep her alive thanks to a hologram for example.
I think that " incredibly digital rich archives " must be preserved, to remember missing persons and not to keep with us a sketch of what they were.

8 Secrets of Success!

The 8 secrets of success according to Richard St. John are:


-Passion. We should work for love and not for money.
-Work. It's not simple, but work is funny.
-Good. We should concentrate on a thing.
-Focus. We should practise, practise and practise.
-Push. We should work very hard physically and mentally.
-Serve. We should help people, and not work for ourselves.
-Ideas. We should listen, be curious, ask questions, problem solve.
-Persist. In spite of the critics and the discharge.


My secret to success is to persist.
I think that is the best advice because if we have a dream, we have to do everything to realize that. We can be disappointed, we can be tired, we can want to stop. But we will be disappointed more still to stop everything, without trying everything.

My letter of Nottingham!

    Hello hello guys!
How are you in Grenoble city? I hope that you work well! HAHAHA! No I laugh, find the time to amuse you also, but I'm not worried for you!;-)
I write you now because we have not a lot of time! Now, we are at our friend's home. The journey was very funny, we took off from Lyon Saint Exupéry at 5:30 am. It was hard to wake up!
Then we had a stopover of 2:10 am at the airport Frankfurt International and we arrived to Nottingham East Midlands Airport at 9:55 am. We leave to Grenoble in a week at 6 am. To wake up is going to be hard! But this time we have a stopover of 8:15 am. So we can visit Frankfurt if we can go out of the airport! And we arrive to Lyon at 6 pm.

The city is very attractive. There is not a lot of things to visit, except the castle, of course. 

We saw the famous statue of Robin Hood and even Sherwood's wood.

Adeline and I tried of take Justine to the theater of Lace Market, recommended by our friends, but impossible. So we went on the cinema, but to look at a movie in English, without subtitles, hello the slaughter!
During exits we have fun, there are many bars, very originals, as a bar in a church. VERY FUNNY!!!! But the English discotheques close more soon, 3 am generally, like stores which close at 18 pm.


For the everyday life, there is a good weather and the Adeline's friends are really very kind!
The food is not very good. We went to Fish&Chips and Mc Donald's, but it is Fast food. Then as you know, to consume in moderation!! Haha.

On this small message, my chickens, I leave you, we are going to walk!
I kiss you and see you the next week! I want to you show all my photos!
Ju and Adou kiss you too!

Cécé.

Top tips for freshers!

   I'm arrived in Grenoble last year, and i knew nobody.
It was difficult, because I was alone and I didn't know this city and this university. But I had talk with other students, we got acquainted and we bacame friends.
   I think that freshers must go to talk to everybody. They don't have to be afraid, because there are a lot of students who are alone and they want to talk with people but they are too shy.
There are also a lot of student's association to become integrated, like EVE who make a lot of party and thez have a place where students can to go to drink a coffee and to talk about everything.
   To go to a new city or a new country is a wondeful thing. You can see new people, new culture... it's an unique experience.
