Size matters

Travelling from a country to country you can notice difference in things that seem to be standart everywhere. I've just got back from the States and the first thing that was very different from what I was used to was the size of different objects.
Once they've served dinner on Lufthansa I was sure I am no longer in the States, although, technically, we were still flying over the US territory. The dinner was great, but the size was weird. They served shrimp and those were not even petite, those were baby-shrimp or unborn shrimp or existing in your imagination shrimp. They were soooooooooo little you barely could see them. Thanks to the flight attendants who explained what it was. US does have petite shrimp, but not petite as those served on Germain plane.
And later all other things were also of a different size. Basically everything was smaller: forks, tea spoons, benches, sinks, tables and so on. It was so unusual.
