one of difference between Chines and French Now I have been in lyon for about one month. I begin to get used to the study and life here. And I have make some new French friends. However I also begin to meet some obvious difference between us. Last Sunday two friends and i went to play badminton in near stadium. Meanwhile I was thirsty and decided to buy a can of Coco cola. So i asked one of French friends whether he needed coco cola and i would buy one for him. Unexpectationally, he feeled strange. He explained that it was unusual to buy other one drink in France and everyone should pay for himself. However, it is normal that one person buy some drinking for another one when friends play together. It means just that one feels happy to treat others.

What is the problem with French post I come from China. I came to Lyon for an six month's exchange between Lyon 1 University and East China Normal University. When i arrived here, the first things was to make a lodging contact with the company who have reserved a apartment before my arrival. Then I have to pay the rent. But they told me that I have to use cheque and I cannot use cash (in Euro). So I have to borrow from professor who work in Lyon 1 university. So I applied for a french bank card at the day when i arrived. The bank told me I had to make an appointment first for application. So I just made an appointment at the first day. Three days later, I went to bank and applied for my new french bank card. Then i have to wait for the letter about my password from bank. However, after one month I got nothing about the card. So i go to the bank again and ask them whether there was any problem. The bank cannot answer why i have not yet got the password. And until now I also have not yet received my mobile phone sim card. Both of them are required to send me by post. But why? Why do they arrive my mailbox smoothly? And I am sure my mailbox does work. So I think what is the problem with French post. The work efficiency is too low.
