Chopstick-Challenged!!!

Disclaimer: I mean no offence to the Chinese/Japanese culture. They command my highest respect. Afterall, if they can fly over roofs, jump over trees, and walk on water, I can only humbly bow to them.

Two little simple wooden sticks. Thats what they are. And it looks just so easy when they (by which I mean the chinkus/japus.....or should I say all the stretched-eye guys) eat their rice, noodles and everything with those bamboos spoons. But trust me, when you hold them in your hand, they can be very very tricky to maneuver around edible things. How on Earth do you hold rice with two plain sticks? Well, I guess it needs a lot of practice on talenting this skillset than just a few minutes in a restaurant.

And with that said, I officially declare myself as 'CHOPSTICK-CHALLENGED'. I can't work myself around those and I'd rather 'stick' to my fork and spoons. I probably would need to go to some classes if I really were to master the art and obviously, I don't have time for that.

P.S. The veg fried rice with the hot sauce is amazing at Sakura, the japanese restaurant. I'd highly recommend.
