The problems I have whilst travelling just to name but a few.
Doorways – often low requiring me to duck constantly
Low ceilings – especially in the old houses, the people must have been shorter then
Shower heads – always coming up to my neck or chest
Short beds – often requiring me to sleep foetal when there are bed ends.
Plane/bus/train seats – more on the low cost air carriers, the person in front cannot recline due to my knees being there, causing them to get angry at me.
Not being wide does have its advantages. It has allowed me to fit in showers, often very small in width ( the high does have a disadvantage here as the showers aren’t big I struggle to wash my feet as the room to lift my knees is very limited). Getting up the narrow and winding staircases of the old castles and buildings. I have no idea how the fatties squeeze up them
I often wonder how the tall native people cope with these living conditions as I struggle. I don’t want to complain and I love the travelling life, I just needed to vent and let the world know of the struggles of the tall and not wide.
For your enjoyment I have added some images of these struggles.
