Here in Richmond, where ACTION TRAVEL is located and where my workmates and I live, we have many very fine Asian restaurants.
Since we are located in Canada, where we have residents from many different countries of origin, most restaurants will have forks, knives & spoons available. If you want to enjoy the whole Asian dining experience, it is a good idea to learn how to use chopsticks. Chopsticks are not that difficult to master – it just takes a little practice.
Directions:
* Take thumb and 4th finger to grip one chopstick
* Use forefinger and middle finger to grip the other chopstick
* 2 inches of chopstick should be below where your fingers & thumb grip
* Hold chopsticks at a slight angle
* The top chopstick should make the motions, the bottom chopstick should be held stationary
* Practice on large pieces of food first, graduating yourself to smaller pieces as you improve your technique
* It is a good idea, when you are a beginner, to lean over your dish to avoid messing your clothes up. When you have a little more experience you won’t need lean over
After a little practice you will be able to use chopsticks with confidence and truly enjoy your meal!
