Japanese, Chinese, Korean,… all look the same ?

Try out this quiz (pretty nice website, philosophy btw… I like). For those who are ready to get wrong from a cultural recognition point of view, please go for it (quiz link is in the top right of this “alllooksame.com” blog) !

Frankly speaking if you manage to get an above-average score… congratulations !
Previously, when I was expat in this fantastic world, I was able to differentiate Asian nationals (even between a Korean and a Japanese - without of course looking at the scripts of their travel books or listening at them, just through the attitude) and believe me this is pretty tough.

For the face section, I underperformed (sighh, did I forget everything or maybe wait, there is some moral…), but for the art one, I got the “you are pretty talented (yes, I still managed to grasp a “cultural specificity something”:-)…

Whatever, spend some time in the alllooksame.com “philosophy” section as well, the point of view worth the reading.

By the way, where do we use chopsticks ?
in Japan, Korea or China (that’s easy) ?

The “tallest skyscraper” or “the everlost overbid of being considered as the tallest one” : after 5 years, you can be sure your glittering crown will have been shadowed… this is nice though, especially for building construction companies…
