We look like giants

I joked around that in Japan I would tower among the Japanese female population as a 5'3" giant. I was close to doing so. But mainly in our hotel where the doorways were really short. I am not standing on my tippy toes in that picture nor am I wearing five inch heels. That's me in all my five foot three glory.

As we walked through alleys and marketplaces, I reigned over these tiny obba-chans* with their crooked backs and four feet eight statures. I only wondered, Where did they buy their clothes? At the Tiny Clothes Emporium?
