PoliTong_studenti - 36 © PoliTongHow is life at the Sino-Italian
Campus and around?
“Interesting, full of new things to try and
to discover, of different people to meet,
and fun”
if you ask one of our resident professors.
PoliTong_studenti - 37 © PoliTongOther Thoughts on China
Chinese people are extremely nice and
available
Very few people speak English, and you’ll be
surprised how 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 such a big, interesting, varied world
of which in the “West” we commonly get
only a little and superficial glimpse
Just get a bike and stroll around
