STUDY IN FRANCE; ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW,,,

When you hear about France, all that comes your mind is, Paris, the expensive city and all the assumptions about the country is that everything in it is expensive. Yea, well, the truth about it is, the standard of living is on the high side compared to some other countries. Yea well *rollseyes*, do you expect less from a beautiful country of love? Do not forget, France is not all about Paris alone, there are lots of other beautiful cities in the country to explore.

Coming down the main topic here, studying in France in some of the top ranking universities in France are not as expensive as you may think and I mean spending thousands of euros especially when it comes to courses taught in English...

Find more information, leave your comments and questions on http://www.estherblogng..nl/2015/09/do-you-know-you-can-get-intl-standard.html

3· The letter 'i' that Apple uses (in their products iPhone, iPad, iMac, iPod) stands for "Interactive"
To the best of my informed knowledge, the meaning of the "i" on Apple products is Internet. It could also stand for Innovation or Individuality.

16· Nigerian staple food cassava was brought to West Africa from Brazil by the Portuguese.



Number sixteen above cannot be right. Egbas and Ijebus have been making and eating garri from cassava even before Portugal or Brazil existed. Stop spreading lies.
