People here are tall. Really tall. Both the guys and the gals. It kind of sucks being short here. Why? Well, since the majority of people here are tall, a lot of the chairs, desks, cabinets, etc. are made for their height. For example, I find my legs dangling a lot when I'm out at a restaurant, on the metro, on the bus, and on the train. I have to sit at the edge of the seat to actually touch the ground with the bottom of my feet. Also, the medicine cabinet/mirror in my bathroom is so tall that I can only see the top half of my face (read: forehead). I've found it to be useful when plucking my eyebrows :P. There's also a mirror on the inside of one of my cabinet doors, but the cabinet is so high up that I can't really see myself in that mirror. Hence I went out and bought a mirror and made sure it didn't hang too high.

My short legs have never really been a problem (except for the toilet in our studio back in LA, which was really high for some odd reason) until now. 'Tis quite sad, I must say.
