It's just another world..

Most of people in Taiwan always use chopsticks when they are eating something. They never use spoons or forks, except in international events. In Chinese culture (the same as Taiwanese), there are some taboos govern the use of chopsticks. I knew them from my friend. When you are using chopsticks, do not grasp in one fist or laid across a bowl. It is also not polite if you stab food with them, to lick the tips, or to beat on a plate or bowl with the sticks in order to call someone or to get their attention.
