On your knees















In Asian societies, people often squat when performing tasks. Outsiders can
only approximate the behavior, especially if they have bad knees. In case
you're interested-- and you probably aren't-- I have grown proficient in
using Asian toilets. And somehow I manage to sit at low tables in coffee
shops and restaurants.

Above: The tables in this Korean restaurant were a real challenge.
