Try this at home


This is how people in Southeast Asia sit. Try it. Go ahead.

I took this from a bus seat in Saigon. This guy was sitting on a concrete wall perhaps four inches wide eating. Seriously. Try it.

People here sit in this squatting position for hours. Not only do they sit like this but they bend over while they work. You'll see women cutting food in this position or men working on motorbike engines. For them it's comfortable and easy. For foreigners it's impossible!
