... I have lived in the USA for a year, I never got the hang of the measurements there :D So I don't know ^^
Funnily, I found a lot of people in the US to believe the weather in Germany to be much colder than it is. During a blizzard (!) in NYC someone tried to convince me the weather in Germany was basically Siberia :D
sometimes a few extra cm would do me good. There are a number of things that are just out of my reach, which is annoying. Then again, I'm neither tall nor short for a woman and as a rider I benefit from not being either extreme. I can ride a 1.35m pony just the same as a 1.75m horse.
I'm about 6'1 (female) and I'd love to be much, much shorter. I hate being tall. I keep bumping my head everywhere and there's never enough leg room in planes, or trains, or buses.
And finding trousers that are the right size? Forget about it.
