Not just east Asia - Hungarians do it too (of course the Magyars do hail from the Asian Steppes originally ). I once booked a flight to BUD with Malev and had to phone them up to be reassured that Check-In/Security weren't going to bounce me off the flight because I'd entered the names on the booking 'English'-style rather than the Hungarian format!
