life - Tips for tall people

Yao Ming

One of my regular commentors, Shanghai Slim, is looking for advice. Who might think that behind that name hides a skinny Shanghai girl is wrong. "I'm a relatively tall fellow," he writes, "1.9 meters, which maynot be much by Dutch standards, but puts me in the"Jin Mao" category in China. This means that the onlyoff-the-rack clothing I can buy in Shanghai are shortsand short-sleeved shirts."
Since I'm slightly under the Dutch average, I have very few problems in buying clothes in Shanghai. Maybe somebody else knows where Yao Ming and all these other tall people turn to?
