Here are the questions we asked to ourselves after the end of the day:

  1. What did you enjoy the most today?
  2. What would you like to change tomorrow?
  3. Is there something slowing you down?

Enjoy

  • making sense of how the french local authorities work
  • seeing all the different services provided by cities with public (local city hall antenna, community centre, library, etc.)
  • seeing the contrasts in the different neighbourhoods (+1)
  • speaking to very different people during our interviews
  • the kindness of the people we interacted with (+1)
  • the quick iteration to translate the questionnaire into French
  • discovering new neighbourhoods by walking or public transport
  • discovering the first signs of cultural and urban differences between Bordeaux and Bristol (+1)
  • fixing the printer at the cyber cafe (+1)
  • having translated the landing page into French (+1)
  • confirmation of our appointment with proximity officers and city hall representative

To change

  • try to feel less turned down by people who refuse to answer the questionnaire

Slowing me down

  • bacteria
  • tired from last week’s events
