And god help you if you say you can tell a Chinese person from a Japanese person.

When I tell people that I'm majoring in International Trade with an asian focus I inevitably get asked by asians if they find it hard to tell them apart, and it seems like there really isn't a good answer to this question. :dunno:




I give a fuck, get out of my thread.

I know you were

I can tell them apart but I'm familiar with all the different asians culture and such. Sometimes I have trouble but as soon as they speak I can tell.

International Trade huh? One advice. Learn Chinese (mandarin)

I can tell the basics apart assuming they aren't mixed too much.

Chinese is next. I didn't want to start Japanese and Chinese at the same time and screw myself on Kanji meanings.

my friend is doing some trades with companies in china and if he knew mandarin it would help him tremendously.

but I guess $4K/month for shipping crap in crates is not bad
