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
