On being Average

I seem to find myself standing around a lot - especially on buses and what I've discovered  is that the Belgians seem to be  a much shorter group of people than New Zealanders. In New Zealand, if I was standing on a bus I would most likely find myself with my head in someone's armpit but here I don't have to crane my neck to talk to anyone. Instead of being short, in Belgium I have become average!

Unfortunately, while I have become taller in Belgium, I have also become wider. Instead of being a size M in a tshirt/top, I am now an L. I refuse to believe that 7 weeks of eating Belgian food and drinking Belgian beer and French wine has caused this - I'm sure they must be operating on a different system!!
