East Asia is just not meant for us. I have had to literally squat and turn sideways to get through some doors. And riding public transport there, my head is above the hand holds

The door thing isn't too shocking. I live in Texas, and the doors to both bathrooms are not full width. I physically cannot walk through them straight on without my shoulders blocking me. I have to turn sideways at least a little bit to go through. We have lived there 6 years, and my wife didn't believe me the other day until I showed her.

I've not really experienced that here in Australia, though being taller than the cubicle wall in public toilets is an experience

Oh man, I didn't even think of that one. I have run into that too.
