I'm a Dutch woman and I'm short for Dutch standards (1,64m) but I'm tall for Japanese standards. I often buy clothes from Japan and sometimes have to alter things to make them fit right (mostly lengthening straps on dresses). My best friend is 1,82m which I thought was tall for a woman. I met her in middle school and she was already that height so I assumed she was a few grades above mine but nope. 😅 She gives the best hugs, we're still friends at age 39. She calls me a midget, with love of course ❤❤

@@dutchgirl624 I wish you a great time in Japan. Yeah, sizing in japan can be wild sometimes, some brands carry only one size. Or S, M and L, but the L is like a shorter version of a dutch M or even an S. Years ago my tall friend asked to try on one of my dresses for fun (she isn't into cutesy/girly fashion), it was a dress by the japanese brand "Baby, the stars shine bright" which looked like it was intended to look on me (cute, girly, elegant, inspired by historical fashion) but when she put it on she immediately said "huh, I look like I serve beer at oktoberfest" which had us both gasping for air from laughter. It's amazing how different things look depending on body height. That would have been a bummer if she was into cute japanese styles, and if she was we would make sure to get her things that fit her height so she didn't have to look like she was wearing a spicy version of a dirndl. Is there anything specific you're going to visit/do in Japan?

I am small for a Dutch woman, only 163 cm. When I went to study in Canada it was weird that I was a more average height, instead of being the small one. There were smaller people than me, also bigger, but it was weird to be average.

Haha, I can just smell his confusion. Myself being close to 195cm I am just a little taller as he is. Went to Japan years ago together with my equally tall brother. While there one day we stumbled across a last minute ticket sale for a stadium concert called "A-Nation" that would be the next day in Osaka. As it was cheap we looked at each other and thought "why not". We didn't know any of the artist (there were a bunch) but we were already there and figured it would be the only time we'd experience something like that so we bought the tickets and we went. We ended up somewhere on the field about a third of the length away from the podium so normally you'd have trouble finding back the spot after getting a drink or going to the toilet or something. Not us.. It was like a sea of small people with 1 towering above them in the distance. Looking over the crowd was like.. _ _ _ _ * _ _ _ _ where _ would be a random head and * would be my bro sticking out like a sore thumb.. To funny. On average I'd say 1.93 or in my case 1.95 is above average so people here also consider me to be on the tall side but I'd say everything above 1.90 and below 2m isn't to uncommon. People might say you're tall sometimes but not like "WOW you'r so tall". That starts at 200cm+ I guess. You can see it clearly in his last shot while he's walking across the square. He's on the tall side compared to others walking there but not crazy tall or something and there are more that height walking around.

Very nice explanation. The comments can get really annoying though, when even in the netherlands you're sticking out... (I am +/-2.06m myself)

He experienced such culture shock his personality did a 180. From getting annoyed by strangers asking his height to asking strangers about their height 🤣 Good for him tho man. If it's up to me he's welcome to stay here. I'm just 6' (184cm) and even I know the struggles of countries not being designed for your height from vacation. Constantly banging your head into stuff and not fitting in beds are so annoying.

In the Netherlands I am of average height,186, I used to play volleyball and I was always the short guy. But when I travel abroad all of a sudden I feel big.

My 19 year old nephew is 2.00 meters. My mom, his grandmother, is maybe 1.55. He can pretty much rest his arms on her head. He loves to call her Kabouter (Gnome) 😂😂😂

My friend's cousin is 2.14 meters (7 feet). The first time i saw him, he was getting out of the car. You know those scenes where a guy gets up and the other guy has to tilt his head to follow him up? That was me. It seemed to me like he never stopped standing up. We were going to a car show that day. We were barely in, when a girl went standing behind his back, to measure herself to him. She barely reached his shoulder blades. We were dying laughing and he didn't know why 🤣

And then imagine beds where you can stretch your legs!😂

I never really gave much thought to this. I'm really only the Dutch average of 175 as a female, but I might actually have some trouble with my height if I were to ever go to Korea (although my weight would probably be the bigger issue). Interesting to see an outsider's perspective on things that are completely normal to me. Makes me realize that our standard isn't the standard everywhere. Intriguing.

I’m a Dutch woman at 1,65 and am a midget compared to people around me! I used to live in Kenya where I was above average in height, bij on moving home I found out that I was quite short! . My late husband was 1,90 and most things in our house were designed for his height. It’s a fact I have a little plastic step next to my toilet because it just too high for me.

I think he’s gonna shop in the Netherlands for clothings 👍 .. lovely video😃

I loved his video when I saw it. I am so glad you reacted to it. I am only 1,62 so I am quite short for a Dutchie. But my attitude is larger than life 😅🤣🤣

Yeah dude we are BIG. 😂😂😂😂.

I’m a neighbor of the Netherlands (Belgian) and I’m 182cm (5ft 11,5in). Although our average height is a lot more than the Korean average, we are not quite as tall as the Dutch, so I love going to the Netherlands. Luckily I live about 15 minutes from the border 😊

This makes me laugh so much. I have two adopted daughters from China. Our oldest is only 160 cm. And she always says, with a wink: That's my fate. Adopted as a little Chinese in the land of the giants :-) She doesn't suffer from it, by the way. I'm not very tall for a Dutch person. But older Dutch people are about my height (184 cm). Many young people are much taller. When I first came to China in the late 1990s and walked down the street, people wanted to take pictures with me. In some villages they had never seen a white man and having such a giant in a photo was great for them.

You should look up the picture of Oliver Richter (The Dutch Giant 2,18 or 7'2) in Korea he was in a Korean McDonalds (or something like it) The counter is so low he could have stept over it if he wanted. Olivier was seen in the Indiana Johnes dial of destiny movie he is the tall guy.

Yeah I'm asian height because of my mom, she had the counters made lower for her use. I'm a little taller than she was at 159, almost 5'3" but in the last place I lived I had to stand on my toes to look in the bathroom mirror and to take the shower down from the wall. I'm chestheight with most people. I can't reach thetop shelf in the store but they usually have some 2 meter tall teenage boy very willing to help out if I can't climb and tweedle something down. (if it's a rack you can sometimes get it from underneath to the front)

Are you allready thinking of coming to visit the Netherlands? Spring farm duties are around the corner! Also i'm 186 cm, nice and average.

He's so happy to be normal height. It is great to have that many tall guys here. When I can't reach something up high at the supermarket for instance, there's always a tall guy around I can ask. lol.

Just a FYI, there are also urinals on the height for kids (or smaller guys) in most buildings like cinemas etc 😂

I’m 170cm Dutch female so average I suppose.. but I was in Korea 2 weeks ago and the sinks are so low I had to bend a lot. Beds were short too. I was glad to be back home 😅

For a native dutch guy age 33, I feel like I'm a bit on the short side with 1.84m/6ft. I once had a classmate who was put on growth hormones, because she was so extremely short. She was 1.65m/5'4ft

It is so funny seeing this. I lived in the uk for a while and let me tell you. As a 180 cm or 5.11 tall woman, yoi stand out... not to mention the amount of times i hit my head in the old pubs with very low ceilings😂

As a medium sized guy born and raised in the netherlands.. that also happens to have very broad shoulders.. The average Dutch build being very tall and somewhat lanky means that no shirt has ever properly fit me in the Netherlands. My shoulders and neck are too big for smaller sizes. My lenght is too small for larger sizes.

I (Dutchie) grew up as a girl with three older brothers. Two were 2m, one was around 1,90m. We always called him the shortie. My brothers always put stuff on "eye level". So, on top of the upper kitchen cabinets and places like that 😄 Pretty annoying for me and my mother, who are both around 1,72m, so pretty normal. My two tallest brothers are pretty tall for Dutch standards though. They do stand out in a crowd a bit (which is pretty convenient) but maybe not as much as this Korean guy does in his own country. I think Dutch men on average are about 1,80, and women around 1,70? Maybe a bit shorter in parts of the country with more people from immigration backgrounds.

My son (15) is as tall as his dad,6 ft. Here in my home town are students from Asia. One of them told me once that they go to the children's department to buy clothes.

The best is when i'm in foreigh country's I can easily order my drinks in a bar without the need to craw to the front of the bar

I was a bit surprised to see him board an airline most non-short Dutchies avoid because of the lack of legroom.

I find always a bit odd when we go to a foreign country and my head sticks out. I mean I can look over a crowd, but not at that level.😂

I can imagine how it would feel. I'm 1.82 and once I went to a classmates home to work on a project and her family was very short for dutch standards and I felt like a hugh giant, because the pictures and mirrors etc. where way below my eye level. 😂 it was surreal.

Yeah small country big people😂😂👍👍

Love it being only 14 and being 1 metres and 84 centimetres and still growing The doctors said i will be around 1 metre 97 tall when i stop growing

When I joined the military, I suddenly was on the short end of the row. What the 🤣 I am 1.82 Still, wearing my heels makes me able to look over crowds. Came in handy when I got kids. Coloured my hair ridiculous for every gig with the band, so my children were always able to find me in crowds 👍

Crazy thing is that the younger generation is even getting taller. My mum was very tall at 1.60 when she was young. She was the tallest in her class. I'm 1.70 and even a little short compaired to most women of my age. My son just turned 15 and is already at the same height as his father who is 1.81 and he is still growing in topspeed. Even has stretchmarks on his back because his skin can not keep up with his growth in height, and still he is for shure not even close to the tallest one in his class. With this speed in 20 years average height for men is 2.00 + 😂

So I've seen, people tend to not clean the top of a cupboard.

I just watched his video last night. I'm korean and korean men are tallest in Asia. That guy is tall, handsome and single ❤ plus young.

My dad is 198cm. When he went to Japan, people kept asking him for pictures lmao. He was so tall over there, bumped his head all the time and needed to lean over a lot. Fun to now see it the other way around, but with a Korean person instead of a Japanese person.

When I went to China with my family (Dutch, all tall) we had the opposite experience

So funny! Dutch woman here. 1.82 tall. My two sons and my husband are around 1.95 and in my familly only my mother was short (1,74). Never considered myself tall, just normal height, untill....I went on a holliday to the south of Spain. I wasn't prepared for the height difference and it never came to mind that it would be an issue and that people are much shorter there. I was unpleasenly suprised that the beds were to short and was also shocked by the hight of kichen counter tops, hight of the toilets and batroom mirrors...thing I'dd never have thought about. It was like going to a childrens toilet at a kindergarden. But it helped me understand the issues that tall and short people have.

This was funny to see as a dutch woman. But to see the Korean woman reach up in the train, I wondered why she didnt use the yellow railing underneath the window..we do keep in mind all heights in public transport.

I'm exactly the national average length, 183cm or 6' exactly, but where I live in the south of the Netherlands people tend to be a bit shorter than the national average, so I'm not short by any means in my neighbourhood. When I go to the western provinces (Holland) however I'm short by comparison.

I'm 185, and can notice I have a very average height here. So it just feels so weird to travel abroad and feel a LOT taller

I’m a short Dutchy with 173cm but my wife is from Indonesia and she is 153cm. She faces the problems of this Korean guy in Korea in reverse in the Netherlands.

Hiddink in korea is a nice documentary.

It's a lot of tall men and boys like him in my country, Norway

As a 1.5m Dutch person, all the reasons he feels comfortable in the Netherlands, is why I often struggle to feel comfortable. When I visited a friend in Denmark, he told us his daughter was very tall for her age, and we thought she looked average, while I mentioned how my kids are tiny for their age, and he thought they looked average. It's all about perspective. And from a Dutch perspective, I'm tiny.

A giant in Koreo. Just a regular bloke in the Netherlands 😁

I'm the smallest of my family at 174 cm. My entire family is taller and the tallest is 218 cm. The one after that is 211 cm. I don't even know why I'm the smaller one, where it came from lol. I feel short a lot of times, which is funny because I'm not even that short. I have a friend that is 154 cm. Now that is small... She's mistaken for a child a lot of times even though she's halfway in her 30's.

i got 2 co-workers with the same name. both aint small but we call one little (about 193) and the other tall (2,07 meter). as a Dutch im just average with 1,85~1,87 my wife is Canadian and for Canadian standards she is tall (about 1,5 cm taller then me)

haha..funny. Mega shock indeed and also nice for him I think. I am 1,80 and my husband 2 meters

As a woman of 170cm i was always on the taller side back home in eastern europe, but since i moved to the Netherlands i never felt more petite in my life. When i was first told that i’m “so short and cute” i genuinely thought it was a joke but nope… imagine my stress when i first landed myself in a Dutch club, and i had to elbow myself through the crowd of people and hitting their sides and hips. Weirdest feeling ever.

Had a 15 year old in my class who was 2,15cm and yeah I,m Dutch also girl from 1,90 at age 12.

My dad now starts to shrink but used to be 186. Me and my big sis are 183(6ft), mom used to be 176 and the sis in the middle is the shorts one: 174. We always joked that she was sooo short :'P. But in so many countries we look like a very of giants lol

That guy must feel a bit like Gulliver, but at home instead of on a strange island inhabited by little people..

4:12 is he saying "good?" Cuz it sounds like a dutch swear word "kut" 🤣

My brother was 193 cm when he was 10 years old😂 the teachers were scared of him, he also was really strong at the age of 10. He could pick up the teachers...

We are evolving from living below sea-level, so if the dijk breaks and everything floods, we can just stand straight up with our head above water level 👌 Haha, I'm just joking! The real reason is because parents use those medieval stretch beds on kids. With the ropes on every limb that pull and stretches them 😄

A lot of men in the Netherlands are 193 cm or taller, only for an Asian man it is rare. I am 178 cm tall and I am a woman. I glad that my son is not that tall, he is only 183 cm. My brother is as tall as the Asian man, he is 195 cm. Being taller than 200 cm is not so nice, but as long as it is below 200 cm it is fine.

I'm Dutch and I'm exactly 190cm (6'3 ft) tall. And allthough I feel tall living here, it's not out of the ordinary. Just like this video shows there are plenty of tall people in the Netherlands. Being 190cm (6'3 ft) tall in the Netherlands is probably the same as being 6'0 ft in the US. You're tall but not extraordinary tall. At 6'3 ft I'm actually at the lowest tire of the 'Tall folk' spectrum here. The average male height here is 6'0.5 (184 cm) and 5'9 ft (175 cm) for women. Meaning that it's not uncommon to see women who are well over 6'0 ft tall here.

The average male height in the Netherlands is 185cm or 6'1 So yeah, up and about half of them is taller than that. He's just a bit above average here.
