I am medium.

This week I had my first encounter of 'Oh you're from Australia...' scenarios. I was at my local corner store, one of about 15... and I bought a calling card, I asked him for the best one to call Australia, he blindly grabbed one off the wall and handed it to me. I paid for it, nothing unusual, then he says to me, 'Where are you from?', I said 'Australia', he said 'oh!'. I said how come you said 'oh', he said, 'I thought everyone in Australia was tall!', I said, 'we are not all giraffes no...' he said 'oh'.....'well I never see noone from Australia not very tall'... 'I call you medium'... I looked at him blankly, said 'thankyou', took my calling card and left.
