You know how you see in movies the orientals in the ricefields doing the ricepaddy squat? Is this a oriental only thing? Can nonorientals do it? My wife tried to do it and she keeps falling back its funny. I can do it good, I can even hop while in the ricepaddy squat. I guess after years of picking rice we are designed to do the squat.

The ricepaddy squat is when you squat and your knees are right outside your shoulders and your but is like 1-2 inches off the ground.

:D Wtf? I'm asian and I don't take offense to this!

Anyone can do it. Ever do gardening?

Actually I have never met a nonoriental that can do it, at least not the way orientals do it. Knees adjacent and right outside the shoulders and butt 1-2 inches off the ground.

No, I remember growing up and trying to get my friends to do it, noone could.

If I'm squating that low I'm cleaning my rims and I hate it. Extremely dirty rims get the one-knee treatment.

Before you ask my car has stock rims and no stupid muffler or wing. :)

A lot of the toilets in South Korea were of the "squat" type when I was there.

You had to look for a western style toilet, called a pedestal toilet.

So, squatting had nothing to do with rice paddies. It was the normal way most folks used the toilet.
