Where Would I Live?
Tuor

Oh, the horrors of being tall. Clothes don't fit right, buying cars based on leg room and shoes based on what's available instead of what you like, and strangers asking you to get things off the top shelf in supermarkets. Anyway, I think I would live in Gondor as opposed to Rohan. That is to say, my primary residence would be in Minas Tirith, but I am very comfortable camping out in the wilderness as well so I would probably be inclined to wandering around Middle Earth. Assuming I would shrink to hobbit size, I could live in the Shire as well, but at my current height hobbit holes would be very uncomfortable. Plus, I like mountains and tall places, maybe because they make me feel short, and Minas Tirith and the rest of Gondor certainly have these (Tower of Echthelion, Mount Mindolluin, Dol Amroth). So, yeah, Gondor is the place for me.
