"The Vietnamese Squat"



I think she was the inventor of the squat, see how natural it is.  it's funny that when they are not squatting, they have the smallest plastic chairs to compensate.


 
these are the higher chairs, maybe one day it will reach the same height as western chairs

 in the middle, the little red chair is the size they typically sit on
this is how most restaurant set up their dining area.  i guess they are beginning to accommodate the expats with the regular size chairs, but it feels really awkward since the table is so low

 here is the squat close up, it appears she is touching the floor, but she's only centimeters away.  the trick is in the balance.  yoga instructors can actually teach you how to sit in this position, so if you want to blend in and learn how to become a human chair at anytime, i suggest you start taking yoga classes now.
 the squat can be used in many different occasions, it is used most often when cooking...


 this move can also be used during work breaks or even while you're waiting for the bus or even a cig break...

my favorite is the huddle, I believe they're conducting a business meeting, so much for conference rooms!
