Eating with Chopsticks

This is a trick I picked up from my travels to Korea, Singapore and China. With the help of my Korean and Japanese colleagues I learned the basics in Korea and kept at it whenever I got an opportunity. And a 2 week trip to China perfected it!

So here are my tips for learning how to use the chopsticks!

• Spoons and forks are not in your book till you learn.
• No - they are not looking at the way you use your chopsticks!
• Feel free to use the hand to push things in, or to catch the dropping stuff from the chopsticks
• Practice! Get one pair and use it at all opportunities, even to pick up non-food stuff!
• Go to a chopstick country - Korea, China, Japan!

But needless to say, the best way to eat is off course with your fingers - nothing should come in between!
