Thanx PCM, you got a deal :mrgreen:
Korean BBQ sounds great! Bet I still couldnt figure out where anyone was from until they spoke up. Im good with accents though! :hehe:
Honestly speaking, I thought all of the faces looked American to me!

I think 4 is pretty damned low! :doh: but thanx for saying so. :beaten:

Strange thread resurrection....

I got an 11 out of 18, I don't know if that was pure luck or if I do have talent . :hehe:

They should try making a test trying to tell the difference between Spaniards, Italians, and Slavs, maybe Europeans in general.

Hey, maybe you have a job working Homeland Security.... :beaten:

:rofl: I think I'd make them uncomfortable.

Really...it's more about paying attention to subtle uses of fashion, make-up, hairstyles...etc. That's why it made me mad that they were just headshots. Even though places like Taiwan emulate Japan, there are some differences. Having friends from Taiwan, China, and Japan probably helps, but that doesn't explain how I figured out some were Korean :hehe:.

Hmm.


I was quoting Seinfeld (yet again):

Jerry: "95% of the population is undataable."

Elaine: "Undatable??"

Jerry: "Undatable!!"

Elaine: "Then how are all of these people getting together?"

Jerry: "Alcohol."

:hehe: :hehe: :hehe:

Tell Asian people apart from who? Caucasians? Blacks? :sweat:

On the first page, click the link and you are going to be tested to tell the differences between chinese, japanese, and koreans. A LOT!!!! harder than you might think :sweat: Good luck with it :hehe:

If they don't get it, perhaps giving them the link along with the explaination maybe a bit more helpful rather than only giving them the directions to it.

Here you go, fybabe.
