Okay, this is a bit random and totally crazy – but for any Westerner who’s ever spent any significant amount of time in China, the whole “Asian” squat is a real issue! (This is light-hearted – don’t take it seriously!)
Welcome
Hi! I'm Steve Webel and this is my blog. Thanks for stopping by!

I must admit, both my husband and I tried to compare the American and the Asian squat. We had the American one down pretty good, though, predictably, wore ourselves out quickly. The Asian squat was a different thing all together. I’ll use my almost ready to give birth pregnant belly as an excuse for not being able to balance… not sure what excuse Bruce will use. He couldn’t do it either. Must take a lot of practice!
ha ha. After spending some times in Hong Kong, i hope you have known already that the squat thing is a habbit only for the people from MainLand China!
And, Hong Kong is being flooded with many tourists and immigrants from Mainland China!
The video is fun to watch but I feel embarassed at the same time
I probably will show this video on my “hong kong” blog , will post your link there too.
Ellen, yes, I realize this. I normally live in Mainland China – where the squat is used – and where I became aquatinted with it.
I kinda wish I could do the squat, there is such a lack of places to sit around China, being able to squat comfortably would be advantageous. My kids can do it, hopefully they will not lose the ability.
