[Paul30467]

As the longer-nosed spouse in a Filipina-European mixed couple, I have gotten fairly good at distinguishing some nationalities, despite the great diversity that is actually present within many countries of South East Asia. Facial structure is rarely sufficient (or even necessary) to place a nationality, but I find that body language and certain typical movements are dead give-aways. For example, Filipinos passing each other by will often raise their eyebrows and widen their eyes in recognition or to express assent, while a Chinese person tends to give a quick nod without really lowering the head, unlike the slower and much more emphatic nodding by someone from Japan. The different accents also stand out after a while, as do differences in body posture while walking.
