Hi,
Thank you for visiting my blog!
First at all, “Sapore di Cina” means “Flavor of China” in my mother tongue, Italian.
In this website you’ll mostly find first hand information about learning Chinese, traveling or working in China.
I’m Furio, a writer wannabe that was born thirty years ago in the South of Italy. If you want to have a laugh here you can find twenty (funny) things about me.
Enjoy my broken English : – )
Furio
p.s. Sapore Di Cina publishes about an article per week and wouldn’t have a reason to exist without the constant feedback that I receive from the readers.
If you feel like contacting me you can let a comment on an article you especially like or send an email to me.
If you’d like to see my photos, you can go to my Facebook page.
Finally, if you prefer to receive my newsletter with the last news about Chinese learning (the lazy way), travel or move to China, you just have to enter your e-mail address on the box below.

Wonderful blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally confused .. Any ideas? Kudos!
Hey Torpey,
thank you for let a comment.
I would go for my own domain, it will cost you less than 100 USD per year (for the domain and hosting fees) and you will have great flexibility and, most important, you will be the owner of your website ; )
Good luck!
Hello!
I have been to China and Viet Nam . I’m an artist and am planning on posting a group of drawings and poems I did while in China. I want to follow your blog in order to revisit China in my mind, then, hopefully put together an artist’s Book on my experiences in China, I think it is great to share our thoughts through blogging. Please drop by my blog and say hello. Carla
Cool,
let me know when you post the drawings and poems ; )
please notify me of any followup. Thank you.
Da quale parte di Italia vieni? Non sono Italiana ma sono vissuta la` per due anni. Sono stata nella Calabria, la Puglia, e anche nella Sicilia. Adesso sto cominciando di studiare cinese. Grazie per il sito!
Hey Holly,
ti informo che sei la prima a postare un commento in Italiano sulla versione inglese del blog. Di dove sei?
Scusa per la risposta un po’ tardiva ma il tuo commento mi era sfuggito!
Ciao
