Sex & Shenanigans

Hahaha … it’s like none of you have heard of a conversion factor.
I personally very much understand conversion factors. I simply didn't want to read back and figure out why your height mattered.

What I found, though, living in England was: don't worry about converting. What you need to learn is simply, "what does a litre look like" (or a 1/2 KG of chicken or....)
Because to be honest, most people have no idea what "a gallon is" except they know it's the big jug of milk in the grocery story. It's not like these are magical thing that we have deep knowledge of: if you say, "it's a gallon" to nearly any American, that's what they picture.

You just need new pictures. So, instead of a "gallon of milk" do you buy a two litre or a one litre? Which fits in your fridge door.
etc etc.

So your 160cm only helps me in that I already know I'm 175cm (give or take) again...I have a picture of how much is 175cm...it's "me tall". So, you're a bit shorter than me, like almost but not quite my head.

Welcome home!!!

Unfortunately, I know conversions all too well doing engineering work. Especially since my last job was at a Japanese company that worked entirely in metric but did most fab work in the US using inch materials.

160cm is 63" or 5'-3"

I'm roughly 180cm
