I think I am flexible in my height. Although my physical height is 6 feet (184 cm), people tend to think I am not so much tall when I sit. Actually, I am very tall in my generation born in the 1960s, but nowadays there many taller young Koreans here. When people recognize me as a man, they do not comment so much on my height. But for female, my height attracts all attention regardless of age, country or gender. Even at northern European airports, people pay attention to me, albeit so many taller ladies there. Kids are awed at my height, especially when I wear high heels. When I entered a public restroom in San Diego, USA a few years ago, an old woman blocked me, saying to me that I am very tall, but I was wearing sneakers. And at a Walmart store there, an old man spoke to me that I am very tall, but I was wearing flat sandals.
Here my friends and colleagues tend to comment I look 'cute' when I wear sneakers or flat sandals. My wearing high heels tend to overwhelm people, but sometimes I enjoy wearing high heels. Here usually tall women are from Russia, but even Russian women pay attention me in the street.
Without these photos, probably I could not realize how many people watch me behind in the street. My friends who walk together with me in the crowded street say that they were surprised that so many people watched me behind. Until they said this to me, I could not realize it.
Anyway, I can enjoy such attention, albeit some occasional mishaps.
Cheers,
