Check out these....
The World's Most Versatile Travel Chopsticks, TripStixx

I wish I had found these when I was buying corporate promotional gifts.
I would love to have a few set with my own design on them.

I'm not going to say yes or no because I can use them...I just don't know if I'm doing it right. I'll google it and see...

I dunno.. It's just something I picked up while going to Chinese restaurants frequently when I was 13. I also picked up a love for curry at that time, too. Haha.

I don't really see what's so difficult about using them...


The color of the sala flower reveals the truth that is... To flourish is to fall. The proud do not endure.

Heaven or Hell, Let's Rock!

Like a passing dream on a night in Spring. The mighty fall at last, to be no more than dust before the wind.

Yes, even long before I came to Japan and used them on a constant basis.
I haven`t the slightest idea where and when I learned to use them, it certainly wasn`t at home as no other family members can manage at all.
I just... could.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.

Nope. ):
When I was little, I could use them very well, but now it's just a very, very sad attempt. :\

Of course I can use them, lol. But I still have trouble from time to time...this is only because I don't have very much Japanese food to use them with!


I'm pretty content with life right now....For the most part, anyway....Well, at least, I'm pretty sure I am....

Yes... and recently i have come to conclusion that it is often easier to eat with chopsticks than with a fork... I'd love to get myself a pair to use at home, but there are just no shops to buy nice chopsticks around here and i am not a big fan of the disposable wooden ones >_<
...the spoon is still irreplaceable in most situations though.

Yup, got myself a pair. I use them when I happen to be bored and hungry at the same time.
