Average dutch male, looking down from 6ft, wondering why everyone is so tiny.
As a severely below-average height Dutch woman, visiting Japan and seeing faces at the level of my face instead of chests was quite the experience.

You may find it interesting to know that around 150 years ago, Dutch men were amongst some of the shortest populations in Europe at an average of 165cm (5 ft 5 in).
Good exercise, better diets, and various other good things went into contributing to a taller average height today.

Mag ik een berehap pinda, een frikadel speciaal en een patatje oorlog?

We don’t even have to go 150 years back if we take a look at North and South Korea’s. Photos of soldiers from both countries standing side by side show staggering difference.
