I want to do this because I will live in China for the next 10 months, teaching children English, and mainly, because I’ve been asked how tall I am, how tall he is, how tall that building is, how far the school is from my apt. etc. And, every time someone tells me how hot it has been, I have no idea how hot it really is. It has actually been mildly debilitating. I hope to continue using metric when I return to the States…seems so silly to be the only country on a system that is so critical to many comparisons in life.

The first step was to take a look at the sites KaliTime Camaralzman offered up. Thanks! They are a good start!
