Also be careful when making friends with international students, especially the EU and Asian ones. You see those French and Japanese people? Handle them with long spoon or they’ll finish your money. Most of them are from rich homes or are sponsored by their governments.

All they do is drink wine and try out the latest restaurants. Their own friendship is to meet in restaurant and bar and try everything in the pot. If you’re not careful, you will finish your money trying to fit in. The day I spent €38 on sushi, I almost cried for one week.

Fact. We only see them at fancy restaurants, and also with luggages at different bahnof during the weekend.

People who want to come to Germany should read that second paragraph well because it's 100% the truth. I'm in the system so I know this country isn't designed for us at all. Their laws alone, some of them don't make sense especially when it comes to renewing your residence permit.

� tell them.

MrBrownJay1:
* What are the immigration rules to follow?
Always stay on the RIGHT side of the law and always have your ID on you at all times, as you can be checked by the police anywhere and for no reason whatsoever. dont try to follow-follow what french people are doing, you may see us jump the metro or talk shiiit to controlleurs but dont try that shiit unless you are fully aware of the consequences as a foreigner.

* Which region/suburb did you settle in and why?
i believe the Paris suburb is the best place to live in France...cheap but yet close to Paris and work wise thats the best place to be at....and let's not forget Paris is the best city in France (even though many willl gladly argue about that)

* Public Transportation in France
public transportation in France is fantastic, wherever you may be...but Paris has some of the best public transport in the country. you can take the RER and cross the city in no time. you have tram, buses etc to help you in your travels....sadly, it aint as cheap as some other big cities of Europe

*Renting Vs Mortgage (pitfalls to avoid when choosing mortgage)
if you are going to live in France for a while, and have the right income and paperwork, then a "pret immobilier" is the best route to follow...now rates are so low, it would be a mistake to rent a place for more than 5 yrs. i believe choosing a mortgage has to do with who you are and what your plans are. no two people are the same. are you renting to have a family home for the future, or just trying to save money while having a place you can easily rent in the future? the location of the house is also very important as some houses may be cheap as hell but in such a remote area that you wouldnt/couldnt rent it out, even if it was free. also there are neighborhoods you want to stay well away from as a foreigner

* Childcare for kids below 5 (cost and how do you go about choosing a minder)
most creche will take care of your child from the age of 3months so technically the closest creche from your home is the one that you need to apply to.... and the easiest for you to go to and from. generally you wouldnt need to worry about the people working there as they go through rigorous checks, i would never choose a stranger to take care of my kids, and would instead find a well known family friend/acquaintances to be in your home taking care of your kids... and making them understand that the house is filled with hidden cameras

* Business Tips you can do
really depends on
- who you are, where you are
- what your aim is
- how much time you have to invest in such biz
- how much money you have to invest in that biz
- if you speak French
- if you are street smart

* Tips on raising kids in a western environment as an African
let your kids mingle with local children early on, let them immerse in the local community, join some sports, do activities with local kids... in no times your kids will be speaking french and possibly help you learn french too. STAY AWAY FROM NIGERIANS, STAY AWAY FROM NIGERIANS...STAY AWAY FROM NIGERIANS. as this is the worst thing to do if you want to learn the local way of life, the local language and immerse in the local community. meeting Nigerians will just push you towards doing exactly what other Nigerians have don/do...and just repeat exactly what others are doing. be your own person, make your own path and dont be another puppet doing the same things that others are doing, going the same place other Nigerians are going.

* Nigerian restaurants and market in your location
in Paris, go to chateau rouge, and you will find all the African ingredients you desire... Paris is filled with great African restaurants from all different parts of Africa. i generally like Senegalese/Ivorians restaurants... and actually the best mafé/thieboudienne i have ever ate was in one of the seedy "foyer Africains" where you can have a big plate of food for about 5€...actually if you want to eat cheap in Paris, walk into any "foyer Africain" and you will be in heaven...not the cleanest place on earth but oh boy you can eat there and be good for the whole day

France is a fantastic country...whether you visit or live there but you have to learn some French before getting there because, as much as most French people understand "some" English, the majority dont practice it so they'd rather answer you in French when you speak in English.
have a glass of wine, some cheese, a good saucisson with a baguette some time to time and enjoy it fully

the truth, but the transportation in Paris is horrible as compared to other European A Class cities like Berlin. I live in a suburb of Paris called Chelles.

mrphysics:
Thanks bro. I haven't visited anywhere though I will soon move around, after the Covid-19 season.

Sorbonne University?

IPAG

mrphysics:
I doubt the possibility. The Covid-19 cases in Fr.

Wow. I just saw this trend. I've been in Paris since the beginning of the year, I am studying at a university along Boulevard St Germain. Hope to Connect with you Immediately after the Covik 1 9 wahala. Paris is like an old beautiful lady with lots of wrinkles on her face. Hope you've visited Strasbourg St Denis? There you will find lots of Cosmetic shops owned by our brothers, abi na our African market at chateau rouges.

All this plenty talk of avoiding Nigerians abroad depends on the kind of human you meet.






My only advice is avoid people that are not students.

come Dresden. I will show you around.

Please any Nigerian in Dresden? I need meet una to show me the way.

I arrived Berlin this morning via Turkish airline, paid €2.80 at the airport for a bus to jaKob pkeizer,(I hope say I spell am correct), jumped plenty other trains and followed plenty tunnel till I found myself at the city's bus central station. From there I took a flixbus to Dresden. Umunnam, two things I noticed among the Germans today is that they're bi-langual(i might be wrong though) and them love to drive new sweet cars(omo come see mini-cooper on black rims, Benz be like water and finally one bad black Lamborghini huracan roadster wea speed pass me for Dresden).
