    I’m 6’4" (193 cm) and I felt totally average walking around Amsterdam. As opposed to being a mutant freak in Tokyo.

      This is already noticeable between Finland and England. According to the stats I’ve seen, the averages between the two are two inches apart. So, I’m average or just a tad shorter than the average man in the UK. In Finland I’m 5cm shorter than the average, and I kinda feel oddly tall every time I walk around in London because of that.

        I’m about a centimeter above the average for an adult male in Denmark and feel like a giant every time I visit the US 😄

      If it makes you feel any better, you’re a mutant freak no matter where you go, but some societies will be better at making you feel accepted.
