Well, i'm up for another geography lesson...First off, i know that
Daniel, Christian and Jon AREN'T Dutch. And I can't speak for
Scandinavia, but the tallest people I ever saw were in Holland. I
don't think there's a person in the whole country--man or
woman--under six feet tall. I don't know how many cm that is, but i
guess it's a lot. So not everything American is bigger...
