From what I understood, many of your Lao Yankee wanted or planned to move back to settle down in Laos one day.

Regardless of the fact that it's possible or not, I think you should prepare yourself to be a full Lao, not a froreigner in the eyes of local Lao or Lao nai.

So, apart from teaching you guys to read/write in Lao, I would like to teach you to act like a Lao too.

What it means by acting like a Lao? I mean the way you walk, you sit, you stand etc.

Those things may be trivial but you won't be accept as a member of them if you don't act like a Lao.

It's human's instinct to welcome people who act the same way as they do. They can tell whether you are in the same tribe or not (in addition to listening to your speaking) by looking at how you walk, how you sit or how you greet etc.

And the first thing I want to talk today is "how to sit like a Lao."

And sitting here I doesn't mean sitting on a chair or sitting on the floor, but sitting on your feet in the nature.

Actually, Lao people don't have a unique way of sitting.
For thousands of year, people in Asia, Africa and islanders share the same primitive way of sitting like this.





Both male and female squat like that.

It's the basic way of sitting of people in those regions, including Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, all SEA, islanders, East Asia, Africa, India etc.

But for farangs in Europe or America, it's hard to see them squat like this.

I am not sure how Lao yankee sit, but I think they sit like farangs, i.e. sit on the knee or have your heel up above the ground, not on the whole feet, spreading legs like this.

Because when you are in America, you need to sit like them in order to be accepted into their tribe. So, you have to sit like farangs.

But now you are planning to move back to Laos, you need to learn how to sit properly like a local people, otherwise, you won't be accept as a Lao.

When I go to bannok Thailand, if I sit like farang while other local peoples squat, I won't be accepted as a local, I will be treated like Bangkokian.

But when I squat, I will be accepted into the same tribe with them.

So, learn to squat today.
Otherwise, you will be just an american, no matter how good your Lao speaking is.

Hope you find it helpful.

dude, that's how you sit everywhere in Asia..

the Asian toilets were even built so that we had to squat over them

well the viet ones anyway.

and in the second photo....

the sign.. is in thai??? or lao??? or do you guys share the same writing system?

god damn.... I can't sit like that lol have to have my legsquite wide apart to be able to sit flat footed. Muscles and joints not used to it! lol thank god my house in thailand has a sitting toilet rofl

Of course, we sit like that in Asia even when $hitting, but farangs in America don't sit like that.

That's why I had to teach Lao yankee to sit the proper way when they go to visit Laos, if they want to be accepted as local.

That's Lao language in the sign.

You have to learn how to sit like local, otherwise, don't complain that they treated you as a farang.

See more example on how to sit properly (he is East Asian).

And this is toilets in Asia.

It's the best way for human to $hit by squatting like this.

Learn how to $hit like a true Lao too.

It's Lao. Thai writing is sharper and squarer while Lao writing is rounder


vs

haha thanks for clarifying..

and also.. a farang is....... a racist word for overseas thai/lao???

or is it just a word that refers to overseas asians

It's what we call white people.
If they don't like it, they can choose to be called "Ma Muang" or mango.

555+ this funny topic is just killing these Laomuritards.

I doubt that they can really sit on their two legs.

Thai sit like that on a falang for money anyways if you know what I mean. LMAO! Butch of Thai whores!

ha ha ha .. Anouvong, this topic is not a joke.

I really meant to give them some advice before moving back home.

Some asians who lived in America for some time will experience cultural shock when they move back.

So, we need to help our student prepared as much as they can. They have to learn how to adapt to local people, even when $hitting, they have to know how to do it properly.


And yes, Americans are really fat.

The poorer, the fatter, if you are in America.

Because poor people can eat only junk foods.

You go away to troll other topic, ok?
This topic I created for Lao people who want to repat home, not for Lao trolls.

Do you know how many % of Lao American considerd having problem with "obesity"?

They will need a lot of training before they can use toilets in Asia and in Laos without problem.

Man.. I really hate this word. "obesity".
Isn't it more straight to say "too fat"?

Maybe you should troll else where? You been inserting issue on here by showing how insecurity you are.

Why don't you post a poll and ask people here whether they think you or me a troll?

Sawan you are being nice lately are you trying to run for Laos president.

It's very natural position and good for bowel's health. Many farangs love Asian toilets when they come to Asia.

"A squat toilet (also known as an Arabic, Japanese, Iranian, Pakistani, Turkish or Natural-Position toilet) is a toilet used by squatting, rather than sitting. There are several types of squat toilets, but they all consist essentially of a hole in the ground. The only exception is a "pedestal" squat toilet, which is the same height as a standard flush toilet. It is also possible to squat over standard Western pedestal toilets, but this requires extra care as they are not specifically designed for squatting"

My votes is in Sawan and Anouvong is a troll.

Sawan is trying to show us how much Thai hate us Lao folks. At least here we can show our reason why Thai having such issue with us.

I posted this sensitive topic in hope that I can help your Lao yankee adapt well with local people.

Topic like this is interesting and always been neglected by farangs, they always complained that they are not treated like local, I am telling them why, from a local perspective.

And you said I am trolling?

Tell me what you've contributed to the Lao community, other than trolling?

Yes, many smart farangs will learn how to adapt to asian toilets.

But Lao yankee think we are insulting them.

That's how they look at Lao Nai, they look down on local people.

I've told you all the time. You can see it now.


These yankee totally lack of cultural knowledge.

They thought that squatting like this is low and they thought that I was insulting them.

So they think to sit when $hitting is more civilized.

We only look down on Thai insecurity and neglection towards it neighbors. Its something that we can't trust some Thai because of corrupt mind set they have.

That's what they think.

Actually, the reason why farangs don't squat is maybe because they are physically larger than asians.

And they have to wear a lot of clothes in cold wheather, so it's not easy to squat like that under heavy and thick clothes.

In Asian, people wear less clothes so we can squat.

You sound like Nong Dindgong.

Dingdong, you go back to ask your mom and dad on squatting and they will tell you how to squat and how people in Asia do squatting while $hitting.

Or you can ask Lao yankee in AF who are travelling in Laos now.

They can confirm that I am not joking and it's something you have to practice.

Not a joke!

Reading Sawan posted he sound like racist Bangkokian.

This is how people in Asia squat.



You see the guy with hat in the circle?

He doesn't sit the asian way, actually he is trying to be farang.

That will seperate him from the rest of the circle.

That's what I mean.
Don't do this while sitting with local people.

That's the lesson from me.

Like I really care to know. Squatting is a Thai specialty. You people live up to squat on c@ck.

The black shirt guy is sitting more Asian way. He rest his arms on his knees. That's the real trick to sit like Asians.

At least I have prove that thai Bangkokian are racist towards Issan and Lao people. These isn't new for use Lao folks. And we should teach everyone about the truth and why we don't trust Thai like him. Because Sawan is the prove on most of his topic. I even been posting his comments on other website just to show how these bangkokian hate Lao people. Which is why I don't agree with colaborating with Thai future relationship at all. It doesn't worth our effort to do so at this time or never.

Dingdong, becuz many Laomuritards here are so proud of being Lao. But when we listen to them, we don't feel that they are REAL Lao. They are just farang Amuricun @$$-holes, trash talking to real Asian people in Asia. We just need to teach these fake Lao tards to learn how to be real Lao. Teaching them to squat like the REAL Lao is just another way to help them to be more LAO. Be grateful to us okay?

Do all Thais like yourselves always trying to bring all Asian into attention? This is clearly and directly towards you and other thais like yourself. And please! Thai don't represent all Asian people. Not like a Thai who whores themeselves with no morals. Thai representing Asian is like an embarrassment to all of us Asian people from Asia to the West!


Please! Thai are embarrassing me aswell!!

Becuz you call yourselves Asian and proud Lao. But you ain't any close to what you are claiming. You just happen to look Asian. If you have any Asian value, you won't have any beef on us who you cliam to be in same Asian folk. Just call yourselves American (@$$-hole). It'd be fine.

You speculate too much. The only issue I have is you and Sawan on showing the real Thai for being very racist towards Issan and Lao alike. Or should I say Thai showing other Asian how to look down on thier own Asian brother and sister? That's how it is in Thailand and how it is still an issue. Thai's just seem not to be more understand like most of its neitghbors towards Lao people alone. And I know you and Sawan have racist mentality towards lao in general. Either oversea or in Laos and even Thailand for this matter.

fu-k you! Yankee who never stepped feet out of your home.

Asian squatting is the way people throughout Asia have been practiced for thousands of year.

You can tell whether and elephant is an African or Asian elephant by observing its ears.

And you can tell whether a man is an Asian or western by just looking on how they sqaut.

I am telling you Yankee to learn how to squat the Asian way and if you think it's low then it's your problem, not mine.

See this video and educate yourself.

How to do the Asian squat
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWTmg4dHiKg

Only racist people are Lao. You call Thai people Jek every person you met. You call Vietnamese Geo. You call Khmer Khamen. You call Lao southerner and Khmu, bug dum (nigga), You call Hmong Meo, and many more. You are real racist people to make these many derogatory words becuz you feel inferior to all of them. Got it bug Lao racist?

Yes, that's the way I used to rest in the farm after working for too long.

This is the perfect squat



Everybody in Asia can do like that.

Too bad these yankee can't do it and they think I am trolling.

And that's why I have to come here to teach them how to do it properly.

It's annoying to see these yankees who are lack of cultural knowledge talking about me racism when I discuss about squatting.

Read this article:
http://www.asian-central.com/stuffasianpeo...2/63-squatting/

Asians have developed many techniques to accommodate the strenuous activities that they are accustomed to in their native countries. This includes bending over to pick rice in rice patties, strengthening their arms to sell food to pedestrians, or just sitting back to enjoy the little things in life like eating bowls of rice. However, somewhere down the line, Asians figured that they couldn’t do all of these activities standing up for extended amounts of time. Hence, the Squat was born. After reading this post, you will know what the asian squat is, where it comes from, and most importantly, why it’s effective.

As mentioned in an award-winning documentary by Daniel Hsia (How to do the Asian Squat [2002]), the Asian Squat is much different from other squats. Originating in India, the squat made its way to China, where asians figured that it was the ideal way to eat rice and be ready to defecate at any given time. Given these uses, the squat has evolved into more than just a makeshift eating position.

It is now a way of life. Asians everywhere use it when they are smoking, reading, eating, waiting, shaving, and any other gerund-verb combination you can think of. Let’s not forget the most important use of the squat, keeping the asian bottom cleaner while using the bathroom (which in many asian countries is just a hole in the ground with running water). Think about all the crap that accumulates when the cheeks are so close together (like in the american toilet). This way, asians are able to be quite economical in their choice of toiletries.

As asians moved to other parts of the world and grew more refined in their mannerisms, they began to shift away from their use of the Asian Squat, calling it “mundane” and “un-professional.” Modern science has proven the squat as an efficient posture that reduces pain on the patellar(knee) tendon. In addition, the asian is now more balanced because their center of gravity is above the feet, and the heels snuggly contour the ground. For that reason, it has risen to prominence once more in only the last 200 years.

The Asian Squat allows asians to play poker without a table, eat without a table, and do pretty much everything without the need for man’s inventions. Without it, asians would be even shorter than they already are (due to improper posture), hungrier, lonelier, poorer (tables cost money too), and most importantly, tired-er (yes, I added an ER to tired). It’s a craze that’s making its way across the pacific and atlantic oceans. It’s an innovation. It’s a lifestyle. It’s the Asian Squat.

Now any of you think that me talking about squatting is racism?

And any of you in America or in Europe do squatting?

Squatting is just a normal Lao value like other Asians. These Laomuritards look down on their Lao ancestors. They are racist against their own kind.

They are just American boys who never left home, how could they know how asians live?
They don't reconnise even simple thing like asian squatting.
Not to mention asian value.

They know only Lao ABC and love to show their expertise in Lao ABC.

In America, they sit like American, they walk like American, they eat like American. they even $hit like American.

It's a joke when I heard them coming to brag about their Laoness in AF.

They only know Laoness from the book!

And it's our duty to reinstall their Laoness for them.

Too bad, they thought I am trolling them.

Not only the way you squat or sit, people can also tell that you are an American just by the way you walk.

Americans don't walk like European and much different from Asians.

You have to learn how to walk like a local Laotian.

Lao and people throughout asia walk humbly. We don't walk arrogantly like Americans.

I don't know how to describe the different, but you can obserbe it and try to walk like a real people of Lao.

Some Thai members or true Asian members here may not understand why these yankee thought that I was insulting them when I talked about squatting and asian toilet.

Look at this video.
This "stupid" farang is talking about Korean squat toilet and he made it like it's disgusting to use asian squat toiletຫ and he will choose to use western toilet over the asian one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywAkZVQ6tQA

That's what their attitude. And that made them think that I am insulting them.

I will tell you that in Asia, including Thailand and Laos, if a public toilet provides both western sitting style toilet and asian squat toilet, people will more likely to choose the squat one, because they don't have to sit on whatever leftover from the previous one and it's considered more higiene than the western toilet.

In many case, if there are only western toilets provided, some people will just climb up to squat on the toilet the asian way anyway.

See this farang girl.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCOtWTai7jk

These farangs are just ດັດຈະຫລິດ

I am writing this thread in hope that you Lao yankee will not ດັດຈະຫລິດ like these farangs when you are in Laos.

wow.. this is even pushing it for me....

your serious.........???

they sit like American, they walk like American, they eat like American. they even $hit like American????

they $hit like Americans????

i assume u know why right???

America never had squat toilets...... or chopsticks to eat like Asians....

and walking like an american??????

if you can post a few videos of Asians that walk slightly different to whites then i will believe you. but for now.....

im thinking u need a little bit of help.

yes, I'm serious.
Do you think people in each country walk the same way?
Even people in the city and in the village walk differently.

yeah. i genuinely thought so.....

People who walk bare feet most of the time will have their way of walking and running.

People who walk in sandal shoes most of the time will have their way of walking and running.

Even people who walk in sandal shoes like this



will walk differently from people who walk sandal shoes like this


The later one will lift their feet higher than the first one.


People who walk in canvas shoes most of the time will have their way of walking and running.



People who walk in japanese shoes like this and wear kimono will have their way of walking and running.


And most people in Thailand and Lao wear sandal shoes most of the time.
They walk differently than American who wear canvas shoes all the time.

They do walk differently, it's just that you never have time to observe and notice it.

For the case of japanese girls, it's very obvious and can be seen by everyone even when they are busy all the time like you.

See this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_K2Qd7DUsqI

Do you think American girls walk like this?

if you put it in that context....

ive realized when i wear shoes i can run, when i wear thongs i cant....

it depends on what you wear dude. not exactly the country you're from....

if i put on those Japanese shoes i would probably scuttle along but if i wear regular canvas shoes then obviously im gonna be able to walk more normally.
