Course: How-to-eat-with-chopsticks

We are just back from the Chinese restaurant where we asked for chopsticks. Not only that, we also wanted them to explain us how to eat with these things (in a language that we understand…). So we got a little “how-to-eat-with-chopsticks” course. While I was getting quite well along with it, and Jakob was spoiling all his food on the table and making a mess, the Chinese girl just stayed around us and gave some advice about China. So while she was anyway staying around most of the time talking to us, I showed her a copy of the most important Chinese words and asked her to tell us how you should say these words. So while concentrating on eating with chopsticks we also got a little Chinese course. Yes, we are ready for China, after all in less than 48 hours the airplane takes off…
