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...



Hello

The fingertips iced over, the feeling faded
told myself I'd be happy just to make a clean break


I remember feeling like I was going mad
going to sleep with the urge to destroy


Told myself I'd be happy to be completely rid of you
every last trace
a line of something unfamiliar running down my face

No matter how you try to escape,
you won't get what you desire

No matter how you scream,
that which is broken can never be put together again

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.

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!

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.


You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup. France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon.' Need I say more?

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