Greetings Hivers, @justinparke here with a brand new ASEAN Hive Community Challenge for you all, even non-Southeast Asian Hivers, πͺπ«Where Do You Squat? π«πͺ
Β Β Β Is there anything more Southeast Asian than squatting? Well, for you folks that have never traveled outside Southeast Asia, this is not a common thing around the world. It's quite normal in the Africa, eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, but my western friends and family are absolutely mystified by this magical ability to sit without a chair. Whether it be the rice fields of Cambodia, or the modern cityscape of Singapore, I have seen locals "popping a squat" as we say in English.
Β Β Β Here in Cambodia, my family and I have a squat toilet, so that is one obvious place we squat, but I won't be sharing images of that with you all π. We also have to squat when washing the dishes or even when a neighbor comes by to talk for a few minutes, we might just have a squat and chat together. Fishing, smoking, a phone call, or even a break from standing and waiting are all common reasons to have a squat in this part of the world. No chair, no problem, so show me where you squat, and feel free to share old images with new ones if you already have them. This challenge is also open to folks outside Southeast Asia.
Β Β Β There were a lot of tempting entries in this most recent challenge, and I apologize for a late post. The wife and kids arrived yesterday and Dad-sponsibilities got in the way. I am familiar with many SE Asian snacks and desserts, but there were several surprises for me in this challenge. As usual it was hard to choose only three winners, but I settled on two posts full of variety and one with a wholesome family touch to it.
Β Β Β @Ecency is as a sponsor of our weekly challenges thanks to the lovely @melinda010100, who reached out to me with an offer of`1,000 Ecency points per month. With roughly 4 challenges a month, I've set aside 250 points for each challenge in addition to the usual post beneficiary rewards.
Β Β Β Delegators are valued members of our community, so each @asean.hive curation post (other than the main weekly delegator raffle post) features a mini delegator raffle in the footer, with the winner receiving 15% post beneficiary.
Hi hi.. Justin.. yes.. the Squat is mystical... especially, I guess if westerners come to Malaysia and see squatting toilets. wahahaha.. It's a combination of squat exercise plus removing waste. That being said.. I am using the sitting toilet at home. A great place to enjoy scrolling the internet. But if I do use the squat toilet.. instead of my butt facing outwards it would be facing inwards with me looking at the door. The diameter for the projectile to reach the water is higher that way.. hahahaha
I am over the moon.. for winning this week's competition.. wahaha.. Congratulations to @tegoshei and @olivia08.
Congrats to us... cheers! :D
Woo hoo.. Have a great day... ππππ«‘π«‘π«‘
Haha, you and me aim the same π. I prefer a squatting toilet, but they are getting increasingly rare in Cambodia, seems a western style toilet is a sign of wealth just like owning a big SUV now. I wish the modern squat toilets with a flushing tank were common here, I've seen them a lot in your country and Singapore too.
Ahhahah yea.. they are plenty here in Malaysia.. the best choice.. getting exercise done as well as getting poop out.. ahahaha.. πππ thank you for such a wonderful reply. Have a great day.. πππ
In my opinion, squatting is something that is common in Indonesia,
Incidentally I live in Aceh and on average 90% of the toilets here are squat toilets, even I myself have a very hard time when I have to use a sitting toilet, and the funny thing is that I think When I stayed at one of the hotels The toilet in the room is only a sitting toilet but I Using it, keep squatting, congratulations to the winner, hopefully next week you can all be the winner
The squatting position is definitely healthier and better for pooping. I prefer it, and every time I visit the USA I also miss the butt blaster gun for an easy clean.
it's quite clear what you wrote and quite understandable, it's true that we can't possibly share a picture of us squatting while we're in the toilet, because that picture hasn't passed the censorship hahahahahah......
it turns out that your sense of humor is very high,, it's hard to detect, this makes us laugh a little, the participants in the ASEAN community,,, it's not difficult to enter the contest for this time,, but..... what is our squat taste like... that is right....
Luckily no toilet pics, haha. Squatting is a very common thing in this part of the world, so I knew it would be a fun and perhaps funny challenge.
Oh! Squatting is everywhere. We do squat in the toilet, we squat while washing the clothes, we squat while playing during my childhood days but I'd love to share my recent squat which is in the garden.
Here is my entry for this Where you squat challenge:

Garden squatting, something I find myself doing almost every evening when I need to collect herbs for dinner. Thanks for joining the challenge, I loved your post.
Wow! you love herbs or vegetables? thats good! It is so healthy and you can cook them fresh right from your garden. keep it up.
Yaaay! Thank you. :)
This next challenge is fun and I can imagine a lot of times when I need to squat. haha
I'll find time to join this week, too. ^^
When the idea popped into my mind, I knew it had to be the newest challenge.
Congratulations to the dessert π winners, they are surely food to enjoy. Squatty squad for the next challenge. Let me think about thatπ

Awesome, gonna go have a read right now.
Congratulations to the winners! I still have to remember where I squat, I get sleeping legs faster when I do that
Me too, I can only squat for 10-15 minutes before I need to get up and move around for a few minutes, then I can squat again.
Congratulation to all winners. πππ
Latest topic is for sure one of my best position.π€
I shall write about it once I have a free time.
Looking forward to it if you have time, and don't forget to share the link here in the comments section.
If only I could. But I've had a busy weekend, and tomorrow will be no different as I accompany my mother to the hospital.
I appreciate the reminder.
How was your weekend? Hopefully, you make the most of it.
