Sketch of the day in my monologue art journal is of The humble stool, Vietnam.
People sit on these little low plastic stools to eat street food and drink coffee. They are rather small even for me. It is quite an art to balance on them.
We do have plastic stools in Malaysia but they are bigger and normal chair height. I don’t know why they are so tiny. I guess maybe it’s easier for the street vendors to carry around.

Thank you. I always find interesting that you often think of others. “Someone else in need”. That is a kind thought. Of an “Indah” soul.

Good to hear that you no longer need the e crutches my friend. Put them away somewhere safe or give them to someone else in need 👍

Thank you Tikus. Those being E-crutches are light and easy to store away. I probably will not need them thanks to your E-support. 🙂

Yes I will help you with your crutches

Will try… Will you help me with my crutches afterwards? 🙂

You can do it.

Hahaha! I’m afraid my joints are now too old for that. Remember I was born in the year of a very old snake…

Yes you mustnt lose the asian squat. Practice!
November 30, 2015 at 20:04
It is. And for me, as the little white boy raised by “the brown people” as my Pachtu cook called himself, it was easy. Natural. Shame I lost it. Need to go back and practice. 🙂

Yes it must take Europeans a lot of practice to master the asian squat. It is so practical. Lol

So it does extend further east? I was too little when I lived in Cambodia to remember. I do remember that it’s both extremely practical, you can take a break anywhere, and clean, trousers don’t touch the ground, but… it takes a few years of practice; after ten minutes, europeans just can’t get up. haha!

Furniture was part of my studies in interior design and I agree that it is interesting to notice how people sit. I like to practice the asian squat. Something only asians can do!

Furniture would be part of the curriculum in your studies right? It is strange how different cultures have different ways of sitting. I remember in India, people sort of “sit” with their knees bent and the rest of the body almost but not touching the ground. Do you see what I mean? You need practice otherwise after five minutes you legs hurt. I used to “sit/crouch” like that when I was little. And the little “frenchies” would make fun of me when we went to France on vacations. (Funny how memories creep back)
And wood seems to me the best material for furniture…

Well I l love furniture. Ive started a series of stools I draw when I travel. Like the woven one in Istanbul. We have sumilar plastic ones in Malaysia to this red one but they are normal chair height. This Vietnamese one is half the height. Although similar to istanbul they too like to sit on very low stools. I love the wooden ones too but rare these days.

Le tabouret is probably one of the oldest pieces of furniture invented by humankind.
(Like the wooden ones best though)
You never cease to amaze me, from killer cucumbers to murderous stools.
