since so many dun apply... but i am chinese lol!!! =D interesting... especially when ur dead bored like me...

i agree with sweetz some of them are so true but most of them i find a little untrue. lolgif

I am not chinese, but most of them is apply to me and some don't!!! That's why i am viet-canadians!!!!

Hmm... according to this list.. I'm not much of a chinese! No wonder my parents complain that much! :lol:

@ Yashuo

why would your parents complain???

i think most of these apply to asians overall -_- like the one about traveling with food LOL that was hella funny when i read it :P

Lolz ... man ... but you know #11 could seriously damage your poor fridge ... =P

I also find some of them are quite true but some is not so true.....

lol..true but u can always wait til the water cools down then put it in the fridge :P

yeah i guess i can relate to some of these things listed :rolleyes:

hahah..they're funni...! some of them are sooo true! lOL...#48, doesn't realli applly to our generation now i guess...considerin i bet many of us has a digi cam...

hehe yup a digi cam to replace a camera and a ipod/mp3 player to replace a walkman.

LOL these apply to Viet too xD
Some of them sound like a put-down, but in a funny way ^^

Thanks for sharing.

Funny to read

Don't think it is all true cuz i brely do any of that =D

haha i know, but its fun to read lol

you're welcome :)

@nugur: yeah i dont think all of them apply maybe only some xD

haha woah so it is easier to identify but it is so cute

lol so amusing...but only 45 of them applies to me^^...funny, i love the one about spitting bones out onto the table xD

hmmm...that's funny. I'm not Chinese but most of these apply to my family and I! lol :P:
I guess you don't have to be Chinese to be able to to have most of these. It should be 88 Ways to Know If You're Asian. hehheh

Well some may be true, but Not all.

I definitely beat eggs with chopstick, what else would you use? spoon... haha

Im half chinese and some of them seem to be true we do that at my home but some don't.

Most of them are true and if not they are really funny. But I think it considered too most of the asians and not only the chinese.
However I do like this sense of humour.

wow my family does alot of those things!!
and we're not even fully chinese!!

hahahah this is hilarious!!! i've seen it before and i find it really funny every time :lol: everything on the list is true!!

those are funny....though i'm not chinese.... ^_^

Wow, some of those are so trueand funny :lol: ! But then again, it's the chinese (asian) mentality. An adopted kid may not have those characteriscs!

Sorry for this late comment!

Why? well... don't act like they do... the chinese way! :P:

Wow cool, mostly of them apply to me that shows that i am a chinese.

75. Your parents are never happy with your grades.
