This is pretty funny. We have some Oriental neighbors (not sure where they're from. they don't speak English) who have a 3-year-old daughter. I went outside the other day, and a teenaged neighbor started telling me about how gross the other neighbors are because they took the little girls pants off and let her squat on the front lawn. There were at least 15 children playing in the area. The 13-year-old was appalled and "grossed out" and could not believe those "weird" people did that. I told 'em it was probably a cultural thing.

I use to go to China on business twice a year. You don't see many little kids doing that in Beijing or Shanghai. However, it is very common still in large cities in the interior like Xian, Chengdu, and Chungking.
