Hi, how many of u can use chopsticks?
Do u find it hard or easy to be used? I learned to using chopsticks when i was a kid, my parents taught me to use it for eating noodles. At first it's really hard, the noodles keep falling down :S until sometimes i used my hand to put the noodles into my mouth LOL but after lots of practice i'm pretty good at it now :P
So what about u? share some of ur chopstick's experience here. Thanks :)

Hello, poshboy, easy for me although my posture at teenager was wrong. I don't know when i start to learn, just as the language, learn very early before i could remember. Foreigners find it difficult to use Chinese chopsticks, but not all of them, some colleagues of mine can have good control on these two bars.

yup, foreigner usually find it's hard to use the chopsticks, specially for the 1st timer, last night i watch tv series "Chuck" where he try to eat the fried shrimp with chopsticks, but he couldn't make it, the shrimp keeps falling, finally he just use his hand to eat it LOL

it's easy for me because i practiced alot of time. i like the wooden type because it can grab slippery noodles. haha. i actually forgot how i started using the chopsticks. haha. maybe it's natural. LOL.

To me,
chopstick is easy to use.
First time I use this is on a Chinese restaurant.
I found that I know how to use even not taught by anyone.
Maybe because my family is using it and I see it too much time.

I can use chopsticks. I think they're so much fun to use. I was eating out with some friends at a Chinese buffet once and woman who was from Asia told me I was really good. Noodles are still kinda hard though. Even Asian people tend to hold the bowl close to their face to eat them with chopsticks.

Hi, i think after what those Asia woman had said to u, u'd like to use chopsticks more right? LOL
Asia people usually hold the bowl close to their mouth if they eat rice using chopsticks, since it's more difficult to eat rice with chopsticks, so they doesn't grab the rice with the chopsticks but just push the rice up to their mouth, from my experience it's a lot easier :D
anyway thanks for sharing your experience with us :)
