Wosh... everybody is talking about WPI lately

Yes. Everybody is talking about WPI lately. Since PM launched "idea saya" of WPI, everybody start talking about WPI. Wow... impressive. I believe Pak Lah (or is it KJ?) doing a good job by triggering everybody to talk, at least until general election. I will list down the news and their link. And will add when the time goes by.. until I am tired of WPI!!!

My mistake .. Grenoble is not a little city

Oppsss ... my mistake. Grenoble France is not a little city. Just the downtown is soo sweet, I oversee the whole city of Grenoble. Today, I got a change to view the "whole" city from the top of a small mountain. Went up there by cable car (don't think that I cannot hike up there .. just don't want to waste my energy :) )

Grenoble .. an old and sweet little city

As I promised, I don't want to post any of my Paris's photo (I believe there are everywhere). So, I took some pictures of Grenoble, an old city, but very clean and nice. Wondering if it comes with the attitude of people in it.

Away @ Grenoble, France

I am at Grenoble, France right now, for 2 weeks. Grenoble is a very-very nice old city, with very modern, clean, and very efficient public transportation. Info on Grenoble @ Wikipedia ...
Grenoble (Arpitan: Grasanòbol) is a city and commune in south-east France, situated at the foot of the Alps, at the confluence of the Drac into the Isère River. Located in the Rhône-Alpes région, Grenoble is the préfecture (capital) of the département of Isère. Population of the city (commune) of Grenoble at the 1999 census was 153,317 inhabitants (157,900 inhabitants as of February 2004 estimates). Population of the whole metropolitan area (in French: aire urbaine) at the 1999 census was 514,559 inhabitants.



Not even 1Million people live in Grenoble. Yet they have a very modern mode of transportation. Really nice. Will upload some pictures later...
