Concerning hight, what do you consider a high tone?

I see you writing about people that are playing the thrd C like its a lot and "Oo, he's playing a Bb" and so on, but here (in Sweden, I guess that most of you are american) 4th A is considered very high, but if you want to look good to the kids you almost have to play 4th C. Almost all trumpet-players I know takes like 3rd G and so and it's not very high when you compare to people over 20.

So where do you count, because I guess it's a question of where the 1st C is. Here we go with the piano, a Bb in the first octave is a C, a Bb in the second is a 2C, and so on.
On a Bb trumpet I must add.

So, when is it high and when is it not?
