It's an oft-seen, well-known sight in China: The Squat. Yes, it doesn't matter where you go, someone will be squatting. I have heard a theory that while us Americans squat leaning on our front toes, this squat distributes weight evenly over the entire foot, thus effectively making the person sturdy and near-impervious to being pushed over. Of course, upon hearing this, we foreigners all had to test out this theory. (Admit it, you will too.)
