Supersizing of America & a rant

[Possegal]

Self reported average height in The Netherlands is 5'7".

Although what we noticed in Rotterdam was that folks there really were tall. My friend, who is 4'10" I think, and is married to a man from the Netherlands, commented to us that had we noticed how much taller people were there, and we actually had already commented. So there may be a 'self-reporting' effect happening there, but honestly, there were some tall folks over there.

Okay - so I'm 5'8" and all leg and a** (but nothing up top, thanks a lot there) - IF I am liucky enough to find something that fits, it is usually a price that makes me hyperventialate. Thank Goodness for consignment and thrift shops

It made me wonder if Danish women were also tall or at least bigger boned. I kept on exclaiming to my partner when we were in Copenhagen for...5 days, many bikes that were too big for me when we would pass a row of parked bikes.

So glad I brought my own bike to Europe. Otherwise lots of time wasted just to find a bike that fitted me. German women aren't normally known to be petite boned and short on average either.

I know this is not clothing size, but same issue.
