    Many times, I find it very annoying. But when I was in Japan ... the Japanese really thinks I'm one of them :(
    When I was in South-Korea, they think that I'm Korean ...
    But I'm 100% Chinese!!!

    It's not too hard to distingulish between japanese and chinese. Most japs have single fold on their eyes where as most chinese have double folds. But that's for 99% of the population, doesnt' work all the time

    Lol people frequently mistake me as japanese instead of chinese, but i can luckily speak japanese so when i reply to japanese people "i'm actually chinese" in japanese they get even more confused so it gets real funny and amusing hahaha! Oh well, i like jap girls so it's cool for me lol!

    I've been mistaken as Philipino 'cause I'm kind of dark.
    I've been mistaken as Korean because I have small eyes.
    and I have been mistaken as Japanese because some people are just ignorant like that. haha

    I've been mistaken to be malaysian/singaporean back home in england, but i think that's cos i go dark quite easily...
    ... however just a point of topic, i'm in hk now and people here have the same problem, they can't really tell where i'm from, some even go to the extent and say i'm eurasian...
