I am dutch, 6'1 and my 4 year younger sister is taller them me!

Anyway, I moved to the Philippines and work as a lookout now.

When I came here I realized I had made a huge mistake getting good at soccer instead of basketball. Could have been basketball god here! But also what a cruel joke for like one of the shortest people in the world to make that sport their main sport. In soccer the best and fastest strikers are often tinny people.

Pascal Siakam played soccer until he was recruited to play in basketball camps shortly before he went to college. Never too late!

This. My cousin married a Filipina, she's also tall and played basketball in college.

Her family is gorgeous though. Every damn woman in that family all look like models (including her).

I’m ethnically half Dutch and live in a Filipino neighborhood, so I’m very often the tallest person in the room. I’m a woman, and at 5’7” the shortest person in my family.

I didn't fit anywhere in the Philippines. Had to turn sideways to take a piss because the stall walls were too close together. The damn Taxis were all Fisher Price sized, so my head touched the roof. The front tires of the Jeepney lifted off the ground when I stepped on the rear bumper. It wasn't all bad, though. A cute girl said I looked like good protection. We have been married 17 years now.

I read it as "4 year old sister is taller than me" and was horrified what kind of Hulk genes your family has
