About us

Three students living in Hangzhou want to tell about their life and experiences in China. We all have different backgrounds, come from different countries and therefore have different perspectives and opinions - hence the name, San Pin means "3 opinions" in Mandarin. We would like you to take a look into our lives, every day funny things happen with the clash of cultures. But not only that, we would also like to tell you about our travels in China, Asia and the rest of the world. Who is behind San Pin?

Where are we now?
