What is your height?

View from Baguio City - i took this picture just a couple of hours ago in this place called Baguio. It's the Summer Capital of the Philippines. It has an average altitude of about 1500 meters above sea level.

if compared to other nationalities, i am pretty sure i will have to look up when talking to other people especially Americans and Europeans. I am only around 1.7 meters tall, but i am betting my earnings today that i am higher than you right now!! I am currently at an average altitude of 1500 meters above sea level, which is around 5100 feet! How about you, does the place you are mylotting right now have scenes or tourist destinations such as these? This city, Baguio City, is called and exalted as the Summer Capital of the Philippines, is one of the top tourist spots in the country. It has one of the coldest average temperature all throughout the year, for that reason it was termed the summer capital. Do you places such as this? Do you have the height advantage?

Greetings, mate. I am seriously confused with what your real question is. Your title has a connotation of physical height of human being. As I read your description, you ask about height of location. Kindly clarify your question and what does your income have to do with height. You come out like a braggart here who does know how to sustain a thought which is definitely not at all attractive. Before you post something like this, think about it and word it properly. This post of yours needs to be divided into two if not three. My physical height: around 5'10". My location: not at all high up in the mountains.

I have to agree with this. Your exact question is still to be determined. Very little of what your discussion is about has any relevance. 6ft 1in and I'm below sea level.

Joe, u have correctly identified what the author has written... my answer is, he is comparing the earnings along with physical height of himself and the others from other continents like Europe or something and stating he is better in earnings than others though shorter in physical means... Three questions in a single post !!! Twisted and Nice !!! But i guess, its still inappropriate to add earnings in the middle..

i'm sorry if it didn't turn out to be as i had planned. i guess it's also not my fault if i have a poor sense of humor as well. But mylotter number 4 got what i had in mind. while the height and altitude was a bit unclear, not understanding the earnings part is not on my part. I said that "i am betting my earnings that i am higher than you are right now" meaning, i am at a higher place than you are. If you can't understand that, that is no longer my problem my friend.

I'm happy with my height as i'm 1.8 meter tall and i live in the exact sea level and if i wish i could travel to Ooty and prove myself that i am the taller than anyone, but there are many who are going to Ooty every now and then as it is a tourist spot with an altitude of 2286 meter.. I'm not commenting with earnings, as it is inappropriate now with the current post

ehmmm... your post make me a little bit confused now... and also your title... what height are you referring to??? your physical height or location height??? you seem to mix these two together... and are you betting your earning based on your physical height or location height??? because if you based it on your physical height, then i think there are still many people who are higher than you... i guess that you are betting your earnings based on your location height... are you also trying to promote Baguio City as one of the best spot in your country??? you should make your point clearer as it is a bit confusing... take care and have a nice day...

I live in a small town in western Indonesia on my place there is only one mountain for recreational purposes but unfortunately I can not take advantage of the natural beauty of the mountain was to be a place to make money because of the distance from where I was very much

Well, my personal height is 1.8 meters, so if I come to your place, your height advantage will vanish, muahahahah! :D But my current location...it has an elevation of 62 meters, nothing to boast with. My country doesn't have any large mountains or something, ground is relatively flat here. The highest peaks is something like 300 meters, you see?:D

My height is average of an Asian. Yeah, Americans and Europeans are really tall compared to Asian heights. Most people from the Philippines are stocky and shorter especially those who come from the Northern part of the country like yours. They could easily be identified as one from the high land because of their stature.

Ahahaha well surely you are on top of the Philippines and I am at the lower ground. I've been to Baguio and yes it's cold in there and I like the place so much. I am 163cm tall and I'm a woman. I don't care much how tall or short i am but i like the way i carry myself with confidence that makes me feel taller even though i am not that tall.

I am 5 ft 7inches and really I think I have gained this bcoz I used to go for gymnastic and swimming. Really..you can say I am a little bit proud about my height. Swimming helped me a lot to gain the height. But then also in occasions, I use high heels to make myself look more taller. And I think its good to have a good height.
