Observation

before i came to the US, i have always thought and taught that most westerners are WAY taller than us asians...i'm my mind, they are always pictured as a feet taller than me and with the build of arnold susah-nak-eja (scwarzeneger)...

the theory is not entirely true and also not entirely wrong...from what i've seem these few days after living a new chapter of my life in the US:-

• tall men are a rare breed in the US...in my observation, only 1 in 40 people are a foot taller than me...
• 60% of them are as tall as me (174cm) and 30%+ are shorter than me...
• toilet walls are too short...if i were 3cm taller, i can see the other person next to my toilet shitting...they built short wall despite that majority of them are tall people...funny...
• one thing i noticed here is that most men have body-builder-type body (they're like too obsessed with body building).
• most women here wear shorts (really short shorts), thight t-shirts to show of their boobs (kiddin'), and eat ice cream when the temperature is at 9 degree celcius!
• sunglasses/shades are like must-have item in their inventory...the sunlight here in the US is way more hot and have high glare...without shades, my eyes are like burning and i have to lower my vision to the floor while walking...
• helmets are only highly recommended here and not compulsory...so expect to see people riding scooter without any helmet...
• the math level among the white men are low compared to the malaysians...they learn addmath level math at college when the malaysians already learnt it at form 5...
