Sara, my odd friend Heather once made fun of me and said that I should become a swimmer due to the fact that my arm hair is sparse and fine. Also, I guess the smooth skin thing does explain the fact that most people underestamate the age of asian people. Highschoolers taking college courses at the community college (yes, I am transferring to a "real" college soon) often think that I'm still in high school.
The intelligence thing isn't necessarily due to being asian. It is sometimes due to the work ethic that parents put into their children (bad grades=verbal lashing at early age). I've seen some really, really ditzy asian girls who leverage their looks as much as their caucasian counterparts.
St. Stephan, there is a certain Japanese character set (I don't remember the name of it since I never officially learned Japanese) that basically uses Chinese characters, hence the differing opinions on the origin of the calendar cover text.
TheZookie007, the girls of the Philipines are a bit of a curiousity to me. They look asian with the characteristic bone structures and facial features, yet have a higher body-fat content. It's a bit odd seeing an asian girl with a rear end like a latina. My guess is that this is due to the Spanish coming through the Philipines and dropping off some of their genetic code (as to put it). The Spanish did it in Mexico and some parts of South America and similar results occured. This of course is my speculation alone and I hope that I haven't offended.
I still maintain that a lot of asian girls have low sloping rears with the majority of the fat closer to the top of the thigh (instead of the rounded bubble-like shaped rear, characteristic of various races in certain regions of the world). However, I have noticed that most asian girls have well filled hips (which also take on the low sloping characteristic). Of course you will find quite a bit of variance.
Now what is quite interesting are half-asian(eur-asian specifically) girls. A couple of weeks ago at a restaurant in the CA south bay, I was waited on by a half asian girl. She was relatively (5'0"-5'1") short and trim and in her 20s. What made her quite interesting was the fact that she had dark brown to black hair, her face looked mainly asian (except for the larger eyes), but she had a firm looking nicely rounded bust that was at least a large C if not a small D. Absolutely amazing.
