There are many variety of supermarkets in France. I may just put forth the main stores.
First, the popular one is Carrefour which break down into many sort of their supermarkets, notably Carrefour Market and Carrefour City. Carrefour Market sells more goods, including home appliance, books, etc. than Carrefour City emphasizing on food. If you just need some instrument or food that does not torture your wallet while maintaining quality moderately, Voila your choice is here.
Second, Monoprix is the prestigious supermarket chain in France. Of course, prices quoting are more expensive than its counterparts, nonetheless; we are more assured in quality of products. You can find products like clothing and food but not as much as Carrefour.
Third, Casino group, presenting in various entities like Casino petit, Leader price. In fact Monoprix is one of Casino group as well but I would like to distinguish this group from Monoprix which does not aim at only food retailer. You can find the cheapest price by rummaging products labeled by a picture of yellow cartoonish banknote. According to my experience, quality is very low. Hence, next solution may be right for you.
Last but not least, Audi shop, not selling Cars! I am rather satisfied with this shop if wanna buy food. Price is very very cheap as compared to Carrefour. If you would like to secure your monthly expense, this is the right choice meeting your need. Audi, I'm your fan! lol

Life in Lille -Part 2
The first day in Lille was like a new born to me.
My eye was caught by the aesthetically decorative building and cool environment. I floated my mind along with grand beauty of nature existing in front of me, Snow. I couldn't stand stopping my burning desire to discover the city with the exciting feet.
Having walked and walked, took tons of photos around the city, next day,I got warm welcome from EDHEC student association, OpenUp. They invited me to have a nice dinner with them and joined the small discussion in the small bar. I started to make friends with other international students.
Voila, EDHEC school and supermarkets were also in my range of searching on the day later. I was very excited to begin the semester in France. This was the first time of study overseas to me. Unbelievably, I was standing in Europe? And moreover in France?
I learned how to arrive at school and went shopping in various sort of supermarkets. Each super market was proposing the slight difference in price to their customers. When I surveyed food and household products rowing on shelves neatly, I got stunned with the Euro-based tags seriously.
I called this feeling, Euro sensitive, in the extent to which the sense of buying things is prohibited abruptly while converting prices into local currency. My case is Thai Baht. I chose to have food which were not too expensive. Nonetheless, they were still more expensive than Thailand, except the dairy products like Yogurt, Milk, Bread, Jam, etc. I had to learned and altered my style of having food. Aligning and embracing European food culture into my plate might be a good idea in order to learn their tradition and reduce cost of living somehow.
Hence, elaborating supermarkets in France is noteworthy.

Business ThinkTank No.0
The successful business derives from embryonic ideas and imagination.
From time to time, I figured some interesting ideas out which could be deployed in the reality but not be ready due partly to financial capability and timeliness. I would like to ensure that my instant idea will not be dispersed and demolished by time flowing forward, I therefore eventually arise Think-Tank collection project.
I has been tapping out it!
Yah!

Life in Lille - Part 1
If one defines a heaven is the land of happiness, so I may call Lille as my fall-in-love heaven.
Lille is the main city of the north region in France, Nord Pas de Calais. This city is the central hub linking between British Kingdom, Belgium as well as of course France. It takes 1 hour from here to Paris, the lovely romantic city of the world.
I had an impressive experience in spending the great time on my study of MBA in this city which is abundant with the ambitious school girls and boys, notably studying in Catholic University. Even if the period of study was very short, 4 months, I thought I really love this town profoundly indeed.
I arrived at Lille on Jan 5th 2010, while it was in white snowy winter season. The city welcomed me by osmosis of kindness with the picturesque scenery. The day after arrival, snowfall was joyfully present to me through the window in my small room. I was stuck with this white magic and let time goes by intentionally.
This is the beginning of my adventure in Lille.
