Day 107: A tutorial on how to use chopsticks

Day 107: A tutorial on how to use chopsticks
It's a routine that in Europe or the US, on the back of the package of the disposable chopsticks used in the Chinese restaurants, there is a crash course on how to use chopsticks. I doubt that it will be any help at all to the westerners in general, since mastering the skill of using chopsticks takes a lot of practice, and the majority of people I saw in the restaurants didn't even bother to try and used knives and forks anyway. But it is sort of beneficial to me. My way of using chopsticks is actually not the most efficient way, as illustrated in the instruction shown above. Nobody ever taught me the correct way so I used my own way of holding them. Most of the time it does the job well, however, in some tricky conditions, the food sometimes slipped away. I guess I might try to practice this method for a change.
