Squatters

Asian people have an amazing ability to squat flat-footed.  This is very convenient, especially since it is often hard to find a clean place to sit.  They start very early:squatting-child

It will probably be a long time before the Achilles tendons stretch enough to actually be comfortable this way!

    My favorite one is the guy squatting on the post above the river. They remind me of birds.

    Whenever I try this, I doesn’t seem to be as comfortable… wish I could! Maybe it is something that only comes with years of stretched tendons.
