In 1989 I was at a week long training class for work.
Some of my class mates were from Japan.
During breaks our cultural exchange included a discussion on housing.
They were amazed that my wife and I, without kids, lived in a 2,000 square foot house.
In the group of four from Japan, three had three generations and one had two generations living under the same roof.
That roof varied between 600 and 800 square feet!
Oh, and they really wanted to hear about American bass fishing.
