Life at the Sino-Italian Campus and Other Thoughts on China
“Interesting, full of new things to try and to discover, of different people to meet, and fun”
Chinese people are extremely nice and available Very few people speak English, but they try hard
to understand what you tell them They’ll team up and call more and more people to
help interpreting what you are looking for
China is a big, interesting, varied world We commonly get only a superficial glimpse
