| Burmese Win Zaw Oo is 8-4 and growing. |
Incredible 8-ft 4-inches tall 36
year-old man in Burma could be the tallest human alive in the whole wide world.
His name is Win Zaw Oo and he is from Htone Pouk Chai a small village about 15
miles from the Natmouk town of Magwe Division in Middle Burma.
His parents are U Aung Hla and Daw Mouk
Tin. He had to leave school at only fourth grade in 1988 and by the age of 15
he had to go work in Rangoon as his parents were not really well of
economically.
He used to work in a yogurt shop in the
24th street of Latha Township. At that time his height was just
normal. One particular thing about him is he loves yogurt and he drinks massive
amount of milk regularly.
When he was 18 he came back home and
since then he’s been growing abnormally in both height and width. Now at the mature
age of 36 he is still growing. Last year he was just 8-1 and now he is 8-4.
He is naturally shy and his diet is
just normal Burmese rural diet. As the normal clothes do not fit him no more his
uncle has to buy suitable fabrics and make shirts to his giant measurements. He
is still living at home with his very old father and mother.
Health wise he doesn’t seem to have any
problems at all. His vision is still 20/20. Only problem is he cannot fit into
any shoes and carrying his enormous body on shoeless feet is making him sick of
walking even short distance. So he said he doesn’t feel like going out no more.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records the tallest living man in the world
is Sultan Kosen (born 10 December 1982) from Turkey. But he is only 8-2 and our
Burmese tall man Win Zaw Oo is 8-4 and still growing. Clearly he is the tallest
human alive in this world.
