Tips for sitting cross legged?

Question
I have been living in Asia for 1.5 years now. Often I am required, expected, or just have the only option to sit on the floor cross legged. However it’s very uncomfortable, either my knees hurt or my legs go numb. Otherwise if it’s on tile the pressure rod my knees on my feet hurt. Are there any tips for becoming more accustomed to commonly sitting on the floor. I thought doing it often would help, but it has not so much. Still sitting for long periods of time is uncomfortable and involves a lot of fidgeting or readjusting. And eating an entire meal and sustaining a conversation in this way is near impossible. I try to always maintain levels of respect but sometimes it’s difficult. Any tips for being better at sitting on the floor properly? I’m not old or over weight.I am 24,but I am over 6’ tall and I am not the most flexible. Any tips for becoming better at sitting for extended periods of time?

Is Iran Asia?

Discussion
I believe that Iran is Asia or should be considered Asian because of not only its geographical location but also because how Iranians created many things that Asians use to become smart. For example they created Modern Medicine and Algebra. They also have a great amount of knowledge, not including the Government. They also created basic human rights (Cyrus the Great's cylinder).

So just tell me your opinion.

Malarial tablet yes or no in South-East Asia?

Hello, everyone! I am going to travel to South East Asia from mid-January to May (close to 5 months) and I am reading some mixed reviews about the actual necessity for malarial tablets. I've bought around 60 tablets already but I'm wondering if I really need for every single day as my doctor suggested for just in case. What do you guys think? (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam I will be going to typical tourist places but I am also travelling by buses the borders and borders are usually always high-risk) Before anybody asks yes I have a good travel insurance I'm not trying to have to use it though lol
