From an article in Der Spiegel:
Now, the average Dutchman is six centimeters taller than the average American.
This of course is not the case with this Dutchman, who’s fairly short for Dutch standards. Fortunately francophone Quebeckers are on average much smaller than their English speaking counterparts in the West and South, so I still am pretty tall here. Very useful in the Metro (when they’re not on strike).

There’s something so sweet about the fact that you care how tall you are. (I tried to check what height you’d posted on your Nerve profile, but you seem to have turned it off.)
I miss you.

Yes, I noticed that I seemed to grow a bit by coming up here. As you point out, it makes navigating crowds much easier.

why is being tall in the metro good? :P

Because when you’re surrounded by lots of people, you can look over them.
