Too Tall in Southern China

Being 6'2 I am used to being among the taller people around, but it is pretty common to have taller people around me. In southern China though this is not the case. I am pretty sure over the first 6 days within the mainland I have seen only a couple of people taller than me. Therefor things also are not made for people 6'2 and this has led to some inconveniences. The first thing I noticed is on some buses I am looking over the handrail that people usually reach up to grab and my head was only about 3 inches from the roof. Then we had to transfer buses to a minibus, of course there were no seats (finding a bus with a free seat is pretty rare) so we had to stand. The problem is the roof of this bus was probably 5'11, so it made for a pretty uncomfortable bus ride.

Later that night I was walking back to our room in the hostel holding my computer not really paying attention and walked through a couple doorways all normal size then there was one where you have to step up as you go through, still not paying much attention I didnt notice that this doorway was probably 6'1 when you stepped up and I hit my head hard enough that its still soar 2 days later.

Then last night we took an overnight train and went for the hard beds instead of the soft bed we normally take...wow what a mistake that was, first we like to keep our luggage on our beds if possible to keep everything safe, not that there is anything too important in our big bag, but it would really really suck for the next 2 months if something happened to it and it looked to be nicer then any of the other bags, so i kept it in my bed. Below is the result.

Charlotte said southern people are known to be short, so hopefully as we move north i will have less of this problem

 
Not only was I too tall for the bed, but there was no AC and they refused to turn on the fans, so it was just hot stagnant air
