Is there a way to tell what country an asian person is from by their face?

My grandpa always has a knack of telling, since he lived in Aisa and has been to all those countries so many times. I can sort of tell differences by pictures he brings back. But i want to know if you ever heard of a real published way to tell?

I dunno...I can usually tell Chinese from Japanese...but honestly...I would not be able to tell the difference between Asian people at this present point in my life.

I just spent my whole lunch time (30minutes) checkin out pictures of people from over 12 Aisan countries and im stumped.

I just think it would be cool to meet a chick and be able to tell her where shes from.

I got a pretty good eye....I can usually tell if youre Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Philipino, or Vietnamese....and sometimes I can tell if youre Cambodian. Of course it helps that Im from Seattle....gotta be the asian capital of the west coast besides San Fransisco.

Philipino's are really easy to tell...it also helps if you know their name...

Things I've noticed...

- Japanese usually have a rounder eye shape...
- Most Koreans I've met are really fair-skinned...
- Philipino's and Cambodians, have a darker skin tone...

chinese and japanese is kinda difficult.but like villian said japanese have rounder eyes just a bit.

koreans tend to have strong facial features like cheekbones or jaws.

vietnamese are very fair skinned.but i can usually tell by what car their driving or their clothes.they luv bmws and mercedes.thats stereo typical but they make it easy to say that.

filipinos are the easyest.alot of filipinos straight from the phillipines are dark because of the climate.the ones from america don't look like the ones straight from the phillipines for sum reason.you can tell by the way they look.the ones from america tend to be lighter skinned and they're facial features don't look as native as the ones from phillipines.

(i happen to look half and half in race,when my dad introduces me to family friends they say i look "mistizo" that means mixed)

because i'm light skinned and people i meet think i'm mixed also sum say i look half mexican or sumthing else or can't figure it out.

anyway

cambodians look really native to their land and tend to be dark

i get laos and cambodians confused.

where i'm from there aren't any of those two really but when i'm up north they are all over the place so i can't tell cause i don't live with any in my city.
