I thought I could tell the difference, apparently I was wrong.

Chinese: Number 24 please.

Korean: I'll have the cat's paws with dog's legs please.

Japanese: SUSHI!!!

//I dunno lol.

Yeah I think I can. The japanese have much rounder faces than Chinese and slightly different eyes, only a little but noticable. Korean's are the tough ones as they do resemble the Japanese a lot.

Ha, nooo 4/18 lol

Same, as it says, might as well toss a coin, I think the general rule is that it might as well be a test distinguishing English people from, German, French and Hungarians. It's a regional look and unless you know the language and hear them speak it's plain luck weather you guess right or not.

Phew, 10 out of 18....

Hitman_Leon · 25 Mar 2015 at 21:49

I did better on the food test, 11 out of 18.

Just by looking sometimes I can tell. Japan has several different ethnic groups, some of which look different from chinese/Korean people. Usually the easiest way to work out where they are from is listening to the language, although apparently a lot of people cant tell the difference between that as well. They sound obviously different to me though.

7/18. Not a great score, but oddly enough most of my correct answers were the Japanese ones!

McBain · 25 Mar 2015 at 22:03

error

Judgeneo · 25 Mar 2015 at 22:07

1/18, and I did it with the help of my Chinese girlfriend.

Take from that what you will.

Freefaller · 25 Mar 2015 at 22:08

Despite being married to a 1/2 Chinese woman, and having a few Asian friends I only got 10/18

Dave85 · 25 Mar 2015 at 22:21

got 6/18 mainly the woman right

dacads · 25 Mar 2015 at 22:40

Terminal_Boy · 25 Mar 2015 at 22:57

7 out of 18, but I did much better at spotting Japanese people than Chinese or Korean.

Yea, but then if Anime is anything to go by. Japanese all look like young (Somewhat stylised) NW Europeans.

(Actually, why is that?? :confused:

really? )

I'd agree with listening .... I find that Chinese vowel sounds are a lot harsher than Japanese ones .... Don't know any Korean speakers to compare that though

7/18 .... Although I tend to do better in real life ... Although my Japanese teacher (who is Japanese) apparently frequently gets asked if she is Chinese by Chinese students in Nottingham
