Everything is "Just my size"

Having always been short in America, finally, everything here is just the right height for me. The kitchen table in my apartment is perfectly low, coming up to my upper thigh. The counters are just above waist height. My bed is low to the ground, and easy to fall into to sleep. When I went out to eat on Saturday afternoon, the table wasn't embarassingly high, so I didn't have to sit on my leg to be tall enough to eat at it. (I have to do this at some tables in American restuarants, and whenever I sit in a booth at one.) Here in Japan, I really do feel tall, or at least grown up! :-D
