Sharing life experience: students from Jianwen Middle School at RLCI
For many international students arriving to Saint Petersburg life and study in this city becomes a new significant stage in their life. There is no doubt that immersion into new culture brings new invaluable experience. Students from Jianwen Middle School (Shenzhen city, People's Republic of China) Dai Zhibao, Lin Jin, Se Yaomin and Wei Nizhi shared experience of their 8-month stay in the cultural capital of Russia. Its is worthy to note that students accepted the offer from the Insitute administration to talk about their life in Saint Petersburg with a sincere enthusiasm!

The students rent together a 2-room flat in the district not far from the university. Students cook at home themselves. They buy food at hypermarket "Lenta" and cook traditional Chinese meals from fish and chicken with vegetables. In Russia Chinese students like oranges, apples, bananas and grape, drink juices and coffee. A nice gastronomic surprise for them was cheese and milk. Excluding cafeterias and restaurants, students spend for food some 5 000 rubles (some 1100 RMB) monthly. If they do not have time to cook at home, they go to McDonalds, KFS or Teremok (Russian fast-food network, famous for its delicious pankakes).

Students agree that Russian language is not easy to study. But the students are greatly satisfied with their Russian teachers, calling them their best Russian friends that always come to help them when they have any problems in language studies.
