We Might Be Giants

A very unexpected occurance of my international experience is that we are considered giants in this foreign land. With Brant being 6'3" (190cm), Jennifer measuring 5'9" (175cm) and myself coming in at 5'12" (183cm), we are considered giants down here. We did assure the group of teachers which we met with on Saturday that not all Americans are this tall.

Is this a TMBG the band ref? I wonder if Bruce Jaques knows any TMBG? I was huge in Thailand when I taught over there. Not many 6'4'' folks in the 6'4'' range. It was a real challenge at times, especially when I taught.

I've really enjoyed reading about all of your experiences thus far!
