People say I am petite/small/tiny/cute. I am, in fact, 1.5 metres (about 4 ft 10 ins). This presents me with a number of challenges in everyday life. I have captured in these illustrations some of the challenges I face in everyday life. I hope you enjoy them.
#1. I’m Alla and this post shows challenges I face being one and a half meters tall.
#2. Finding lady’s shoes is a real problem. I mostly wear trainers made for kids.
#3. In aeroplanes I have to climb on the seats to put my bags in the overhead compartment.
#4. On most chairs my feet still swing in the air.
#5. The equipment presents so many challenges that I simply don’t go to the gym.
#6. Sometimes automatic doors do not open for me. I have to wait for another person to activate the door.
#7. It looks like Alla is not at work today.
#8. I am invisible in my office chair.
#9. Strap-hanging in the metro is out of the question. I have to hold on to whatever is handy!
#10. Supermarket shopping is like mountaineering.
#11. I am a threat to people’s eyesight when walking with an umbrella.
#12. Taking my son to school I am sometimes mistaken for one of the pupils.
#13. The is no shallow end in the swimming pool for me.
#14. ePassport gates don’t see me and I have to stand on tiptoes!
#15. The top cupboards in the kitchen have things I have never seen!
#16. When walking with taller people my legs have to move twice as fast.
#17. People think it is okay to pick me up.
#18. People think it is funny to use my head as a rest.
#19. Good relationships rely on team work!
