Not in Rome. Some wear wedge heels. Some have sneakers with wedge heels. Some have pumps on. They really look fabulous.
As an American who has lived in Europe for many years, people like you stagger me. Of course some women wear sneakers stylishly in Rome. And in Paris! Why do American tourists INSIST on "seeing" some fantasy of Europe in which "they are so different from us"? You sound so unsophisticated and foolish, PP.
Read, much? I didn’t say they don’t wear heels in Rome. Someone asked are you in Rome? I answered not in Rome. As in I’m not in Rome. Nice judgment though.

Yes, most of us are blessed with even complexions, glossy hair and less body hair. We have less body hair, but our food has a lot of garlic so we have to be aware of that.
Finally, Asians also avoid extreme temperatures. They are bundled up in Winter and they will avoid the midday sun during Summer.
Don't forget that we are avid sunscreen wearers! I get all these catalogs from Coolibar featuring only white people and im like. ..they're targeting the wrong consumers!

Most of the perfectly made up and dressed in heels tourists tend to eschew physically demanding activities, stay in shade/wear hats, etc. They're dainty travelers that you'll never see carrying a backpack or go on a hiking trail. I have friends like that, and I can never travel with them. Very different style.
That part is true.

+1
Educate yourself, OP. And stop trolling.

My sister and I (both Korean) have no arm or leg hair and haven't shaved in probably a decade. I very rarely use deodorant because I don't smell. I didn't realize that it was an Asian person thing.
Whats up with this dry ear wax stuff? What type of ear wax do white people have?
My kids are half white and I already see a bunch of peach fuzz hair on them. I wonder if they are going to get the white people gene for body hair (I hope not for their sake)!
White people have goopy yellow earwax.

If I work out, I will smell sweaty, but don't have BO. My white husband is super jealous.
Another Asian American here. Pretty much the same, though I didn't know that about the BO. I figured I just couldn't smell myself because it's me. And I used deodorant.
We Asians don't talk about it b/c non-Asians don't believe us and make fun of us.
I'm not offended by this thread but the well-dressed part doesn't apply to me. I'm a slob. But perhaps b/c I'm an American first and foremost who just happens to be of Asian descent.

Nothing discriminatory about it all- except maybe, if you’re stretching to find a problem, discriminatory again non Asians who don’t look as nice. Did a single Asian get offended by this post?
