Interestingly in China they would describe someone by their nose. 'He was tall and had a large nose bridge'

I have never considered someone's nose. But they have types of noses they deem as attractive, and the larger the pointer the better.

You will notice in Chinese movies they actors all had the same type of nose.

In my country its almost rude to even mention someone's nose.

I never knew my nose was large, or anything really. The first person I met told me I had a 'sharp' nose and kept staring at it.

What I figured later was that Americans have tons of ways to differentiate people. Height, weight, eye color, hair color, race, etc. In a more homogeneous country, I guess noses are definers.

A common nickname for westerners in China is dabizi (大鼻子), literally "big nose". And a mysterious yet common compliment in Japan is to be told hana ga takai (鼻が高い), lit. "[your] nose is high".
