Hello again!

Hope I'm not offending anyone with the constant questions, but this seems to be such a great resource so far...

Here goes with another question!

My parents went on a trip to Colombia back in 1994, and one of the big things that they remarked upon was how tall they seemed compared to everyone else. My dad, standing at 6'2" felt like a giant... and my mom at 5'8" also felt kinda tall.

So, knowing full well that Paraguay and Colombia are two totally different countries, I felt I should ask... how tall is everyone there? I stand 6'0" tall, so will I too feel like a giant?

How about shopping for clothing? Is finding bigger person sizes a difficult task? I know that there are some of the major clothing retailers there, but do they carry only smaller sizes? As well, what about shoes?

Thanks again in advance!

I stand 1,90m tall and I only always have problems with shoes, with clothing non-what-so-ever.

Thanks!

How do you get around the shoe problem?

My shoe size is an 11 US Male. I'm thinking I may stock up on footwear prior to my departure.
