I actually have higher cheekbones and a big nose, wide and thick lips.
Probably look more like Singaporean, Vietnamese or Thai than Japanese. Fa Nam Face ? |

I always get asked for directions in HK, even though half the time I have no idea where I am. LOL
But I get what you mean when people expect you to know the language. I feel like that every time I travel in Japan. And when you attempt to speak their language, they look at you like, why can't you speak properly? |

Jenny, I think your Japanese is fine. You are speaking Japanese properly.
Probably it is not so easy to understand others when people speak with some dialects or using too colloquial expressions in any language.
I guess we just have to get used to it. |

Jamaica, you don`t really need to be able to speak canto in HK. Decent English is enough. |
I know. But what's the fun in that? _________________ "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read." - Groucho Marx |

Wow! Gorgeous pics! There are still so many places in HK that I have not explored and these really made me feel like travelling to HK again (even though I just went there last year XD)
