First week in Grenoble - impression

It's been one week here in Grenoble. I'm really happy I found a flat before arriving (thousands of thanks Simon!), because I've seen some people having tough time looking for affordable places to stay.
The flat where I live is close to the university, it's just 5-7 minutes walking. The neighbourhood is quiet, grocery stores and little bars arround. The only thing about the flat is that doesnt have a proper division between the "rooms", so each of us has its own space, desk, bed, gardrobe and all these, but we are not accustically isolated. But as there is nothing to do about it we better get used to it and we take it easy. I live with an English guy who is also going to the same University and so far I'm happy living with him, we get along pretty well.

My first impressions of living in France aren't many and sadly almost all of them of them are comparasion, which is not good and not fare, I know, but still those are. French take the holidays and the lunch time really serious, I think that's nice but it makes you feel like in a tiny town, and when you come from a capital city it makes you feel like you went backwards.
Last week was like all days were sundays (and sundays are like the end of the world), because many French were still in holidays and arabs were in Ramadan. This week seems different, more students have arrived (more pretty girls in the street ;) ) and city seem to wake up finally.
Regarding to legal stuff everything seems in slow motion. I'm still without cell-phone and without internet in the flat (annoying point), I need a bank card and a check book to get them, I hope it will arrive this week, then I have to buy the Internet-box and then wait again maximum 10 days for activation. So I'll stay disconnected at home.

The student comunity seems nice, people from everywhere and for different programs, surpricingly I havent meet my first classmate, but at least we already played football :D.
In general I'm happy here, just a bit dissapointed things work sooo slow, and that I can hardly get food on the street after grabing some beers :P.

Sorry I didnt put any picture, I havent taken any yet.

I'm not going to give a qualification to the city yet, I still have to give it more time, meanwhile I just can say: I love you Budapest, you still being the best!.
