In other words, who know how to squat Asian-style? If you've ever been to Asia, you'll know what I mean...

Sometimes just to have a snack, to chat or to watch the street show. People sit on their heels, without putting their buttocks on the ground, firmly planted on their feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It's comfortable and stable, not tiring to hold, unlike the position most Westerners take, who perch on their toes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/petitesbullesdailleurs.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/village-people-8473.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/petitesbullesdailleurs.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/village-people-8473-770x513.jpg\" alt=\"Under a gray sky, the guys from the neighboring village watch me with a smile wedge draw my iPhone for a souvenir photo.
