All of you are right, mates. Those two pictures I posted earlier are people from Bordeaux and Aquitaine, though the two brunettes from the first picture could easily pass as Spaniards.

Those aren't Norwegians, more like Turks!

We can agree on one thing, me, you and Mexican president (yes he too). We all like nordic girls. The president of Mexico like nordic girls so much that he used to have pictures of a nordic beauty on his website (no joking here, I am telling the truth ) Its the third girl from right.

Who told you that every single Norwegian student here is from Eastern Norway? Now you're making up stories.

You were claiming that those graduates students were from the east? Oh, well FYI, these ladies below are from Bergen and I see good-looking blondes there. What do you say? Are you going to make excuses, again?

For example, There seem to be many light skinned Spaniards as well. I don't know about the French, or east Europeans. Anyway, these are all just "white people" for us. I can't even tell the difference between a Russian from a Brit.

However, a colleague of mine told me that she could pretty much tell the difference in appearance (not all the time of course) because each ethnicity has a "certain look".

Does each European have a unique look that distinguishes it each other (besides hair/skin colour)? Of course in very general sense, and it is by no means 100% accurate.
Quite easily mate I can even tell the difference in all the eastern EU ppl as well just from living in London

The only trouble I have is separating the Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish and Danish as beautiful is beautiful which ever way you look at it!!

We can associate the following characteristics (blonde hair, blue eyes, a fair skin) with the people of Norway, Sweden, Denmark and the other Nordic countries. It has been proven by recent genetic studies this blonde gene (KITLG) is most common in those populations. For those who have problems with comprehension, this doesn't mean, every single person is blonde there, but those countries have higher percentages than other countries.
