Here in Manila, I keep seeing more and more girls who can't be older than their mid-20s and they're 1.65m and taller, with flat shoes.
Chinese and European genes and good nutrition (better than in the rest of the country) can work miracles...
Cool! And to those of us from parts of the 'West' who sit there thinking "huh, how tall is 1.65m, what's a meter again

??" when seeing metric system figures: I put it in a converter and that'd be just under 5'5", pretty good for Asian chicks!
Yeah, I've seen the statistical charts on the heights of Japanese people over several decades, and they just had a huge growth surge over the course of time largely because of nutrition. Interestingly after a huge uptrend it basically peaked out as though there were some DNA-coded max height they were catching up to. Japanese women have also been shown in studies to be getting taller and curvier in current generations from nutrition too though (not from race-mixing with taller people in the case of the one I'm thinking of, though obviously that'll also do it in the "hafu" ハーフ half-Japanese population).
FYI in case it's of any interest: I saw a Japanese statistician blog where it shows a map of average height, and the Japanese northern coastline had very obviously taller average heights of Japanese women, LOL. The stats were a little more ambiguous for Hokkaido, which looks like legendary rugged and cold "Northern" territory in a lot of places, but I've noticed a few women from there seemed to have a nice fierce edge to them and were also taller. (One particularly good one stood 5'6", nicely above their national average of 5'2.5"ish.)
I'd better see if I can find those charts and put them in the Curviest and tallest women thread... important research here to become a true international man...
