Everyday life

Using telephones

During your stay you will probably call your parent or your family. For the international call, you need to buy a call card. After it's the same system than in France: you call a number and enter your pin code and after you can call your number. It's very cheap and with 4£ you have around 300 minutes for the France.

Public transportation

The main difference beetwen Paris and London for the public transportation is the number of bus lines. There is plenty lines of bus in London, this is due to the tube. Each day there is some signal failure and you wait and wait again the tube... So if you prefer to be on time, you will swap with the bus.

There is another important difference: the price. It is very expansive, for example the oyster card for one zone and one week costs 12£90 with the student reduction!

Night life

In England, workers like to go out for a drink after work. Each evening there is many people in the pub. The environment is cordial anf if you want to see some football or rubgy game you need to go in a pub.

Entertainment

With some luck, you will have a TV in your flat. And believe me it is unbelievable! Forget "Loft story" or "Greg le millionaire", there is a lot of crazy show in England. It seems to be no limit here, the point is to climb the top of TV ranking.
