October 1st

Hi it's October already !!!! My oh my, my holiday is rushing by.......... not !!!

Had a very quiet day yesterday, didn't play after all, I just rested the whole day as I was very tired from Saturday. Just did some shopping for items that I needed for home.

One thing that I have noticed being here is due to the differance of heights between Europeans and Asians.
The average caucasian male is about 5' 8" -9", females 5'2"-3", the average asian male is about 5'5' and the female 5'- 5'1". So when anything is being built or manufactured they obviously take this into consideration. I found that walking up and down stairs can be difficult as they have smaller steps, I find that walking upstairs I have to kind of walk on my toes with small steps but going downstairs is even worse, I can't seem to do it easily at all, the length of step is so short that I have to hold on to the rail to make it easier.

Their loos are even worse, the bowls are so low to sit on, for those in St.Andrews it is the same height as the new bowls in the nursery/reception area, sit on them and you will see what I mean !! My knees are up by my chin.... not a pretty sight !! (poetic exaggeration here ;-)

Enough asian education for today

Hope you are happy wherever you are reading this.....
