Elelin elokuun Pariisissa ja ajattelin jakaa muutamia kokemuksiani, jotka saattaisivat kiinnostaa muitakin ranskan opiskelijoita. Tässä asiasta kiinnostuneelle pieniä vinkkejä erityisesti opiskelua ja edullista elämää ajatellen. Jutun kuvat ovat kännykällä otettuja, joten pahoittelen niiden huonoa laatua.
1. Liikkuminen: ihanan kamala Vélib
Kyseessä on Pariisin kaupunkipyörä. Palveluun kirjautumisen jälkeen pyöriä saa käyttää käyttäjäliittymänsä mukaisesti lähtökohtaisesti puoli tuntia kerrallaan ilmaiseksi (sähköpyörällä eri hinnat). Näin siis periaatteessa, mutta käytännön osuudessa on vielä harjoittelemisen varaa. Siinä missä Helsingin kaupunkipyörät toimivat lähes poikkeuksetta, niin Pariisissa tilanne on toisinpäin. Kaupunkipyörää käyttäessä voit tuntea itsesti todella onnekkaaksi, jos onnistut
- löytämään aseman, jolla on pyöriä vapaana.
- löytämään aseman, jolla on pyöriä vapaana JA joka on käytössä.
- löytämään aseman, jolla on pyöriä vapaana JA joka toimii JA josta edes yksi pyörä suostuu irtautumaan telineestään.
Useimmiten saatoin hyvinkin löytää aseman, jolla ehdot 1 ja 2 täyttyivät, mutta sitten kohtasin rehellisesti sanottuna joka päivä tilanteen, jossa pyörä kyllä sanoi « GO », mutta teline ei antanut periksi. Siinä sai sitten mutista merdeä ja riuhtoa pyörää tuloksetta… Tällaisessa tapauksessa ei auta kuin etsiä toinen lähellä oleva asema.
Ilmeisistä vaikeuksista huolimatta suosittelen kuitenkin Vélibiä, sillä se on todella edullinen verrattuna metroon/bussiin ja puolen tunnin sisällä pääsee Pariisissa jo pitkälle. Erityisesti iltaisin kaupungissa on aivan taianomaista pyöräillä! Pariisista saa aivan eri fiiliksen valtavien boulevardien reunassa paikallisten lomassa pyöräillen tai pienillä kujilla seikkaillen. Varsinkin jos kokee saaneensa tarpeekseen metron loputtomista, ahtaista tunneleista ja aikaa vastaan taistelusta.
Erityisvinkkinä ranskan kielen kannalta: pyöräasemilla voi harjoituttaa ranskaa muiden turhautuneiden kanssa – unohtamatta säännöllistä asiakaspalveluun soittamista!
Ehkä tämänkin, aivan kuten niin monen muun Ranskanmaalla tapahtuvan asian kanssa, kyse on myös tuuripelistä?
Plussat:
Palvelu on edullinen. Pyöräily on helppoa, nopeaa, turvallista (erilliset kaistat ja autot antavat tilaa). Asemia on paljon.
Miinukset:
Asemat ja pyörät eivät aina toimi. Jollei kännykässä ole nettiä, toimivia asemia voi olla hankala löytää.
Hinta:
Navigo-kortin kanssa vuoden sitoutuminen 3,40 €. Itselläni oli käytössä vanha Navigo-korttini (Abonnement), mutta muuten tulee käyttää joko päiväpasseja (Pass) tai kotiin tilattavaa Vélib-korttia (Abonnement).

2. Museot
Alle 26-vuotiaille eurooppalaisille useimmat museot ovat ilmaisia, kun vilauttaa kuvallista henkkaria. Itse olen ylittänyt jo tämän MAHTAVAN tilaisuuden, mutta päätinpä kuitenkin mainita.
3. Kirjastot
Bibliothéque publique d’information du centre Pompidou (Bpi), 4e arrondissement
Kiva ja monipuolinen kirjasto, missä on hyvä opiskella ja kirjoittaa rauhassa. Nimensä mukaisesti kirjasto sijaitsee aivan Pariisin sydämessä, eli Centre Pompidoun yhteydessä. Huomioi, että sisäänkäynti käy rakennuksen takaa, Le Marais’n puolelta.
Plussat:
Mukanaan voi tuoda eväitä. Paljon lukupaikkoja. Todella hiljaista, vaikka paljon porukkaa. Kirjasto tarjoaa myös palveluita ilmaiseksi sellaisille, jotka haluavat mm. oppia ranskaa (ks. seuraava luku ranskan kielestä).
Miinukset:
Erityisesti kirjaston auetessa jono on usein masentavan pitkä (joka kulkee kuitenkin yllättävän nopeasti). Kirjastosta ei voi lainata kotiinsa kirjoja, lehtiä jne. Kirjasto aukeaa viikolla vasta klo 12.
Hinta:
Ilmainen sisäänkäynti. Toisessa kerroksessa on cafétéria, mistä saa pientä purtavaa ja kahvia (automaatista).
PS. Elokuussa kirjasto jakoi ilmaislippuja halukkaille Centre Pompidoun kaikkiin näyttelyihin. Luonnollisesti tartuin tilaisuuteen!
Lisää infoa: https://www.bpi.fr/bpi
Bibliothèque nationale de France, le site Francois-Mitterand (BnF), 6e arrondissement
Tämä valtava kirjasto on hyvä paikka sellaiselle, joka haluaa satsata kokemukseensa tai on budjettimatkailijana joustavampi työrauhansa suhteen. Kirjastossa on paljon tilaa ja ilmaispaikat sijaitsevat käytävillä ja terassilla. Itse en testannut lukusaleja, sillä en halunnut maksaa niistä ja kärsivällisyys ei vain riittänyt odottamaan niiden aukeamista suurelle yleisölle. Kävin kirjastossa vain muutaman kerran, oikeastaan vain silloin kun satuin kortteliin tai tapasin tuttavia lähettyvillä.
Plussat:
Mukanaan voi tuoda eväitä. Kirjasto tarjoaa myös palveluita ilmaiseksi sellaisille, jotka haluavat mm. oppia kieliä (ks. seuraava luku ranskan kielestä). Vieressä on elokuvateatteri.
Miinukset:
Aivan likellä oleva kortteli ja kahvilat ovat melko kalliita ja tylsiä. Lukusaleihin pääsee ilmaiseksi vasta klo 17 jälkeen.
Hinta:
Ilmainen sisäänkäynti. Lukusalit maksullisia klo 17 saakka.

4. Ateliers de conversation en francais langue étrangère
Ainakin edellä mainituissa kirjastoissa järjestetään keskutelutilaisuuksia ulkomaalaisille, jotka halajavat syventää ranskan kielen taitojaan (myös muita kieliä tarjolla, kuten englantia ja espanjaa). Tilaisuuksia johtavat natiivit kirjaston työntekijät ja käsiteltävät aiheet vaihtelevat. Myös osallistujien taitotaso vaihtelee paljon (vaatimuksena niveau intermediaire) – mikä voi olla välillä turhauttavaa niin puhujalle kuin kuuntelijalle.
Kävin uteliaisuudesta tutustumassa tilaisuuksiin ja suosittelen lämpimästi. Molempien kirjastojen tyylit olivat hyvin erilaisia, mutta mielestäni pedagogisesti mielenkiintoisempi ja monipuolisempi oli BnF:n tilaisuus. Vaikkakin vetäjillä oli välillä vähän paha tapa unohtua monologiinsa, ainakin kaikista uskaliaimmat osallistujat saivat puheenvuoroja kunhan avasivat suunsa.
Oli myös hyvin mielenkiintoista keskustella ranskan kielestä siitä kiinnostuneiden kanssa sekä herkistyä erilaisille aksenteille. Tilaisuuksien ansiosta opin erityisesti syventämään yksittäisten sanojen tai ilmausten merkityksiä.

5. Elokuvaillat opiskelijabudjetilla: ilmaisnäytökset
Lost in Frenchlation (http://lostinfrenchlation.com)
Sattumalta törmäsin kyseiseen järjestöön, joka järjestää ranskalaisia elokuvailtoja ilmaiseksi Pariisissa– tosin englanninkielisillä tekstityksillä. Pääsin testaamaan ulkoilmanäytöstä, joka järjestettiin yhteistyössä 11. kaupunginosan kaupungintalon kanssa. Kokemus oli puitteiltaan hyvä, mutta elokuvaa en voi kehua (La Reine Margot). À chacun son goût… !
Toinen paikka nähdä elokuvia ilmaiseksi on pubit ja baarit. Luonnollisesti: consommation à recommander.
Club Dimanche (https://www.facebook.com/clubdimanchepaslundi/)
Ainakin La Méchanique Ondulatoire -baarissa järjestetään ajoittain ilmaisnäytöksiä. Kävin katsomassa amerikkalaisen, ranskaksi tekstitetyn, elokuvan Souviens-toi… l’été dernier. Tiedätkö mikä leffa mahtaa olla kyseessä?
Cinéma sur le toit au Bar à Bulles (https://www.facebook.com/events/198059387536449/)
Kesäisin viikottain ilmaisnäytöksiä. Huom. varaukset täyttyvät todella nopeasti! Enpä ehtinyt testaamaan itse, mutta konseptina houkutteleva!
6. Elokuvaillat opiskelijabudjetilla: opiskelija-alennus latinalaisessa korttelissa
Cinéma Le Champo (http://www.cinema-lechampo.com)
Filmothèque du Quartier Latin (http://www.lafilmotheque.fr)
Molemmat charmikkaat ja vanhaa aikaa henkivät elokuvateatterit sijaitsevat aivan Sorbonnen vieressä. Elokuvina monipuolisesti vähän kaikkea laidasta laitaan – painotuksinaan klassikot ja muutenkin aikaa kestävät tuotokset. Elokuussa tarjolla oli mm. japanilaista 1950- ja 60-lukujen klassikkoa sekä Hitchcockia.
Lippu on opiskelija-alennuksella 7-7,50 €. Opiskelijakorttia ei kukaan kysellyt…
7. Rock en Seine 2018
Elokuun viimeisenä viikonloppuna järjestettävä musiikkifestivaali, Rock en Seine, on varteenotettava elämys musiikkia fanittaville. Puitteista mainittakoon, ettei maisemaa ainakaan pahentanut Bois de Boulognen tuuheat metsät vieressä sekä siellä täällä seisoskelevat patsaat.
Sain ostettua lauantain lipun alennettuun hintaan Facebookin kautta (40 €), joten päätin vilkaista tapahtumaa. Hyvä kokemus kaiken kaikkiaan, vaikkakin edellisen illan absinttibaariin tutustuminen heikensi vähän vointia ja fiilistä. Festari oli hyvin järjestetty, ruoka- ja juomakojuja löytyi joka nurkasta ja hinnat olivat huomattavasti reilummat kuin sisarfestareillaan Suomessa. Esiintyjinä lauantaina mm. Anna Calvi, Charlotte Gainsbourg ja Liam Gallagher.

8. Iltapäivä turkkilaisessa kylpylässä
Jotain mitä en ollut ikinä kokenut Ranskassa oli kylpylät. Vähän rohkaistuani vietinkin sitten erään lauantai-iltapäivän turkkilaisessa kylpylässä. Taustatyön seurauksena löysin kylpylän, jossa oli arvioiden mukaan hyvä hinta-laatusuhde. Kyseessä on aivan Parc des Buttes-Chaumont’n kupeessa sijaitseva Hammam Medina Center.
Perussetti (44 €) sisältää sisäänpääsyn, vartalon kuorinnan sekä teen ja pienen itämaisen herkun. Aikaa kokemukseen menee aina puolestatoista tunnista eteenpäin, omasta fiiliksestä ja kuorintakäsittelyn odottelusta riippuen (vartalonkuorinnan tekee ammattilainen).
Kylpylässä pukeudutaan uima-asuun. Kuuman kiven, uima-altaan ja höyryhuoneen lisäksi sieltä löytyy jopa ”tavallinen” sauna. Hyvin kylvettyään elämyksensä voi kruunata loikoilemalla vielä hetken rentoutushuoneessa.

Thanks for your posting. I also think that laptop computers have become more and more popular lately, and now in many cases are the only kind of computer utilised in a household. The reason being at the same time potentially they are becoming more and more very affordable, their processing power is growing to the point where they’re as potent as pc’s through just a few in years past.

Thanks for your publication. One other thing is that often individual states have their unique laws of which affect householders, which makes it extremely tough for the our elected representatives to come up with the latest set of recommendations concerning property foreclosure on homeowners. The problem is that a state possesses own regulations which may work in an unfavorable manner in terms of foreclosure procedures.
Thanks for the guidelines you have contributed here. One more thing I would like to mention is that personal computer memory needs generally rise along with other breakthroughs in the technology. For instance, as soon as new generations of processors are made in the market, there is usually a matching increase in the type preferences of both the laptop or computer memory and also hard drive space. This is because software program operated by way of these processor chips will inevitably increase in power to leverage the new engineering.

Over time, I have come to be able to understand that the particular symptoms of mesothelioma cancer are caused by the build up of fluid relating to the lining on the lung and the breasts cavity. The disease may start inside chest area and spread to other parts of the body. Other symptoms of pleural mesothelioma include losing weight, severe inhaling and exhaling trouble, a fever, difficulty eating, and irritation of the face and neck areas. It should be noted that some people existing with the disease don’t experience any kind of serious signs and symptoms at all.

One more issue is that video games are usually serious in nature with the main focus on finding out rather than leisure. Although, it has an entertainment facet to keep your kids engaged, each one game is usually designed to work on a specific skill set or area, such as math or scientific disciplines. Thanks for your posting.
Thanks for your write-up. I would love to opinion that the very first thing you will need to perform is verify if you really need credit restoration. To do that you will have to get your hands on a duplicate of your credit report. That should never be difficult, since government necessitates that you are allowed to acquire one absolutely free copy of your real credit report on a yearly basis. You just have to request the right folks. You can either look into the website for your Federal Trade Commission or perhaps contact one of the major credit agencies immediately.

Thanks for the new things you have revealed in your post. One thing I’d prefer to discuss is that FSBO connections are built after a while. By presenting yourself to the owners the first end of the week their FSBO is usually announced, prior to a masses start out calling on Friday, you create a good network. By mailing them resources, educational resources, free reviews, and forms, you become a good ally. If you take a personal desire for them in addition to their circumstances, you develop a solid connection that, oftentimes, pays off in the event the owners decide to go with an adviser they know in addition to trust – preferably you.
One other thing I would like to express is that in lieu of trying to match all your online degree programs on days that you conclude work (since most people are exhausted when they return), try to arrange most of your sessions on the week-ends and only 1 or 2 courses for weekdays, even if it means taking some time away from your saturday and sunday.

In line with my research, after a in foreclosure process home is sold at a sale, it is common for your borrower to be able to still have any remaining unpaid debt on the loan. There are many lenders who attempt to have all expenses and liens paid by the up coming buyer. Nonetheless, depending on particular programs, legislation, and state laws and regulations there may be many loans that are not easily solved through the shift of financial loans. Therefore, the duty still rests on the borrower that has got his or her property in foreclosure. Many thanks for sharing your notions on this blog.
There’s noticeably a bundle to learn about this. I assume you made sure good factors in options also.

Thanks for sharing your ideas. I’d personally also like to mention that video games have been ever evolving. Modern technology and improvements have served create genuine and active games. These entertainment games were not really sensible when the real concept was being tried. Just like other forms of technological know-how, video games way too have had to develop by many generations. This is testimony to the fast growth and development of video games.

These days of austerity along with relative anxiety about running into debt, lots of people balk contrary to the idea of employing a credit card in order to make acquisition of merchandise or even pay for a trip, preferring, instead to rely on the tried in addition to trusted procedure for making settlement – raw cash. However, if you possess the cash available to make the purchase entirely, then, paradoxically, that is the best time to be able to use the credit cards for several motives.

Throughout this awesome pattern of things you actually secure a B- just for hard work. Exactly where you actually misplaced me ended up being on all the facts. As as the maxim goes, the devil is in the details… And it could not be more accurate in this article. Having said that, permit me inform you exactly what did work.

One thing I would really like to say is car insurance cancelling is a dreaded experience and if you’re doing the right things as being a driver you simply won’t get one. Lots of people do have the notice that they’ve been officially dumped by their insurance company they have to fight to get added insurance after the cancellation. Low-priced auto insurance rates are usually hard to get from a cancellation. Understanding the main reasons concerning the auto insurance canceling can help motorists prevent getting rid of in one of the most significant privileges out there. Thanks for the suggestions shared by your blog.
