<p>OK folks. As applications deadlines near and the stress level goes up, I thought I’d give a link to a story about a real test required for a private high school in Japan. Just feel lucky you don’t have to master this…</p>
<p>Haha. I might actually want that, if I’d learned how to do it. I use them in a different way. Actually, according to my friend, I’ve been using them wrong for five years. Upside down.</p>
<p>I can barely hold my own fingers properly, let alone spoons and forks and other fancypants utensils of elegant eating.</p>
<p>But, I must say, it is a fine tradition. Quite remarkable, in fact, how the Japanese have managed to keep it alive for so long and spread the chopstick’s popularity as an eating utensil worldwide. :D</p>
