In America I am seldom what one would consider tall. I prefer to shop in the petite section of clothing stores and I am the shortest one in my family. But, in Asia I am tall. Everyone is always so amazed when I tell them how tall the rest of my family members are. Though I am bigger than most of the villagers, they are definitely stronger than I am. This week I tried to help an eleven year old village girl about half my size to haul water from the well to the house. Using a bamboo pole, she carried two buckets of water over her shoulders. When I tried, I couldn't even stand up. I have a lot of physical training to do if I want to match up to these LiHai people!
