TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Two French vloggers on April 14 posted a humorous video

showing French people attempting and failing to execute the “Asian squat,” a maneuver most Westerners in Taiwan will have observed and likely had to attempt when using squat toilets.
A pair of French vloggers on April 14 released a video narrated in fluent Mandarin on their YouTube channel Xinshidandan (信誓蛋蛋, Pledge Egg Egg) showing people on the streets of the southern French city of Montpellier attempting to complete an “Asian squat.” An “Asian squat” is when a person goes from a standing position to a squatting position, without touching their hands on the ground, knees completely bent to the point of the buttocks touching the ankles and all the while keeping both feet completely flat.
As bystanders are at first reluctant to attempt the feat, the vloggers offer candy to those who can complete it. Soon they test over 20 volunteers, with the vast majority failing and falling onto their backs. [FULL STORY]
