Money - Bank setup, wage (since Aaron was confused about this), expenses to expect.
#### **Nexedi**
Things to Do - Rue Solferino, the zoo, whatever else.
Working at Nexedi is quite laid back, but there are a few things you should know.

#### People
#### Working hours
People usually arrive around 9:30am (or 09h30), but getting there later than that is fairly common. As long as you arrive BEFORE 10am there shouldn't be any issues, but don't make it a habit. Lunch is at noon, and runs until 2pm. This gives plenty of time to go to any restaurant in Lille, or to just head over to the nearby Monoprix (covered below) for a prepackaged supermarket meal. After lunch, it's expected you stay until 6:30pm. Most people leave a few minutes after 6, but if you have work to do don't go early.

#### Something else
Something else to say about Nexedi?
----------
Transportation
-------------------
#### Basics
Lille has a very nice public transport system that includes 2 tram lines, many bus routes, shared bikes (V'lille) as well as 2 metro lines. All of this (except the bikes which require a one time deposit) are included in your monthly "*pass pass*" card. This card is personal and includes a photo of you and your name.
It can be ordered at the office inside the **Lille Flandres** metro stop or online. Otherwise you may ask Claudie to do it for you.
As this will take a few days, it's best to buy a couple of day passes until you get it. Nexedi will reimburse you for 50% of all transit costs, so you don't need to worry much about wasting money.
> **Note:**
> The transit system is run on the Honor System. There is nothing verifying you have "beeped in" before boarding, and most bus drivers won't even insure you do. However, there are occassional checks where authorities either board the vechical and check everyone's card, or wait outside the stop. This is common at Lille Flandres for the tramway as well as Saint Maur.
