Dec 18th 2006 3:57PM oh.. did I mention that you should never use your own when dining at others' home? But even then, you have the option to claim that you're protecting *THEM* from *YOU*... (at your own risk)

Dec 18th 2006 3:47PM 1. You foreigners offend your host nation in various other ways without the faintest idea - this one is negligible.
2. What is good for the billion Chinese people might as well hurt you, but your body would adapt to if you stay long enough!
3. Chinese living in more developed part of the country don't really feel more comfortable with the chopsticks than you guys do, and that's why so many trees are cut down for disposable ones!
My suggestion: lower your standard a bit; follow the locals when possible, but feel free to BYO when it looks ^#$%^@%@
bonus point: impress people of how environment friendly you are with your fancy funky chopsticks when the disposable ones are provided!
