Judging from the second photo, it looks like the current Prime Minister of the UK hasn't quite mastered the art of sitting cross-legged for the Korean tea ceremony. The two female tourists featured below seem more comfortable than he does.
Count yourself lucky, Mr Cameron - at least you didn't have to sit, seiza-style, throughout a more formal Japanese tea ceremony - the traditional posture in which you sit " kneeling on the floor, folding your legs underneath your thighs, while resting the buttocks on your heels."
