I am, however, shorter than all our Japanese friends. I do still see elderly women when I’m out shopping who only come up to my shoulders and some very small elderly men.

On the other hand I see lots of Japanese school girls who are much taller than me.

I do think it’s easier being short here as I can easily blend in with a crowd. I have a sister who is 5″9 and she looked really tall when she came to visit. But then she looks really tall in Ireland as well.

I can dream. How is your height compared to the Japanese people you encounter?
