i don't know if anyone here is as well travelled as me but have you noticed no matter where you go in the world the majority of tourists you see are chinese ones? i remember when i was a kid, first time visiting Paris the line outside The Louvre was packed with them, it's lucky all i do now when i'm in Paris go to the Cinematheque Paris from the 16e.

again not a racial thing, just an observation, remember i'm part asian

Silly question but are you Chinese? Reason I'm asking is I've noticed that I can tell all the different types of Asians apart but I really struggle with the other races and was wondering if you might have the same issue.

That being said, there are a lot of Chinese tourists nowadays probably due to their economy growing and the sudden increase in wealth for many.

nope i am french/viet. no i can pretty much tell different nationalities apart pretty well since i'm friends with a vareity of different people. i think sometimes i might get confused between someone who is Italian and someone who is Lebanese, you can thank Fat Pizza for that

I have always wondered why the Japanese seem to have become obsessed with a gesture which frankly, if nothing else is used to symbolise the allied victory of WWII, considering the manner by which Japan lost.

Its completely disembodied from its past now though. Its a pop culture thing, its cool and hip to do it. Its nearly always younger japanese people that do it.

Actually the whole peace sign fad originated in Japan but eventually spread to other Asian countries.

The theory is that Winston Churchill started the whole thing.
