Konnichiwa

While waiting online this morning at the Cafe McColl I started a conversation with a random student waiting with me. She told me she is a seocnd year in the MBA program. I could tell she is Chinese and asked what country she is from. She responded she is from Taiwan and then proceeded to guess that I am Japanese.

In the past, I have been mistaken for Korean but this is a first. It's a bit surprising because Japanese people tend to have features that make them distinctive compared to other non-Japanese Asians. And it's even more surprising to hear this coming from a fellow person Chinese origin.
