Life in Lille Part 5
Regarding train-ticket buying, we have two major options: buy from the counter in person or from the Internet.
The former has no choice of receiving a ticket. When complete buying process, right away obtain a ticket from a officer. The latter provides you several selection to get a ticket reserved and paid.
Firstly, we can demand SNCF to deliver a ticket by mail. This choice may take time depanding on destination. Secondly, print a ticket by ourselves. Very convenient and sure, this approach responses an order and complete a procedure at one-stop service(at our computer's screen). In this way, the company can reduce ticket issue cost. At the same time, it can increase customer satisfaction due to being able to have a ticket immediately. Nevertheless, high-end technology of monitoring counterfeit tickets may require.
Lastly, Le retrait en gare, receive a ticket at train station. Must inform a reservation ID and identity, afterwards offered a ticket by a officer or ticket vending machine, the yellow one (can choose languages). The latter needs to insert a credit card used for paying a ticket.
With alternative choices proposed in acquiring tickets, we have very freedom to travel with SNCF indeed!

Business ThinkTank No.4, Object Lost Reminder
When we go abroad, due to stunning with the unfamiliar environment we may forget our luggages or any belongings. To have a device which help us scan the precious items may ensure that the trip would go without anxiety.
This apparatus will receive the RFID signal attached to designated things and show the result on the screen. Alternately, I may mix up the SIM card technology and wireless network for domestic locations and RFID and mobile applications for overseas.
With this solution, we just click on one button -check up belongings- as a result, we can see which items are in our reach or missing.

Business ThinkTank No.3, Eraser Gloves
When I studied in the classroom, I observed most teachers like to erase texts on backboards with their bare hands. If he/she would like to use a computer or touch a thing after getting colored, it may not be suitable to proceed it right now. (a teacher may has to go to a washroom and clean his/her hands).
Thus, having an instant eraser attached to their hands may contribute some convenience to our teachers. A material used should work well with particles like chalk or inks and offer easy-to-clean feature to customers.

Business ThinkTank No.2, Squeezing machines for rubber trees
I once had a talk with my friend who owns the farmland of rubber trees in Chumporn, Thailand. He suggested me that labor force to cut the trunks to get the liquid rubber is lacking seriously. To counter this trouble, we may need an automatic machine to do this job for humans. Absolutely, the prospect of this business is very viable.
Business ThinkTank No.1, e-Yummy
e-Yummy: The green online food delivery service for white/blue collar employees. This business is offering breakfast and lunch meals to persons who are working around business arcade. The area in service would be determinedly bordered so that the business could mitigate risks of overtime delivery as well as cost of transportation.
Furthermore, the business is promoting reused containers by providing a pair of boxes per customer to circulate the order between the current and the next. Customers can arrange their food sets through the business's website. Other attractive features would be introduced to customers constantly while operating. For instance, notes for giving knowledge or care to customer's health.

Life in Lille - Part 4
Bonjour,
After talking about supermarkets in France, let me narrate you transportation infrastructure. Mass transportation in Europe is largely developed, notably train interlink networks across states as well as nations. Definitely in France, we have to spot on the fastest train, TGV (Train Grand Vitesse) operating around France and some flights are rocketing to the countries like Switzerland, Germany, Austria, etc.
When I decided to having voyage, TGV is the first choice to get me to destinations and it impressed me unforgettably. It didn't mean not only good aspects such as comfort and quickness, but also bad experiences such as labor strike causing me to rehabilitate the trip plan.
There are many methods to receive a train ticket. I will detail it later on in the next post.

Life in Lille -Part3
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
