Chopsticks...!!

The chopsticks... very small and just 2 sticks but it does a huge job in my life!!

My family uses chopsticks every day in every meals. In the world, some of the people usually used knifes and forks and some of them used their hands to eat food, and some of them like me uses chopsticks to hold food. Every people in the world uses different tools to eat food. Well but for now I'm going to talk about "chopsticks"!!

I know that you want to know WHO invented the chopsticks... OK here it is...us, the people invented the chopsticks. WE invented the chopsticks in about 5000 years ago in China. When people tried to take food from the pot safety, they used a pair of branches, bamboos, and even the tusks of elephants. That was the first time people ever invented and used the chopsticks. After that when the people in China went to the different countries, they taught them about the chopsticks. They went to Easter Asia such as Taiwan, Korea, and Japan. And now in the world, many of the countries are using like; Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Mongolia. (many countries yeah?)

Well I want to end this post but let me tell you the last and the very important thing. So you know I'm Japanese and in our culture there is a big rule how to use the chopsticks. When you are using chopsticks and eating, the food can NOT be transferred from one's chopsticks and the others. Because we pick up the bones with chopsticks in funeral, that you use 2 pairs of chopsticks with 2 people and put the bones in to the urns. So if you are eating with Japanese and you use the chopsticks like this...... the people will look at you like WHAT TA HECK!! THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE CHOPSTICKS!!! OH BOY...!! so be very careful about that...!!
