Is it possible to distinguish between Asians, physically?

So many times that people thought I was Chinese/ Korean/ Japanese/ Thai/ Vietnamese/ Singaporean (haha)/ Tibetan or Nepali...... sometimes it's quite an advantage.

People (not just strangers but also co-workers) usually think I look Japanese. But I have also been mistaken for Philippino (only in Australia).

People say I look more Korean than Chinese.

So, bhchao, do you have a big round face which is relatively flat and a relatively high nose (to me this is a typical face for a korean male).

I got 7 right, my wife got 6, but strikingly most of our choices were the same. The toothy girl about no.12 japanese, the gangly high cheekboned guy japanese.....maybe the people in those photos are not that typical.

We both got the rather fierce looking young Korean girl right, she is dead easy.
