    Hello :D

    I am soon to go to Japan for working holiday.

    Many people say that for cultural sensibilities I need to understand chopsticks.

    How to do?

    Domo ari gateaux for your advices.

    Japan teeth is mess!

    You pass thru Bangkok, I fix you up.

    Chopstick is easy, even for blonde after 6 or 7 day.

    I teach you chopstick manoevre! In Bangkok!

    Thank you for you very informative reply Dr Boonsireiset,

    I do not think I will be able to travel with a piano so you suggestion of practicing using teeth as a keyboard is ingenious. No wonder you are a Dr.


    As I am worried about cultural sensibilities as maybe the English version 'chopsticks' could be seen as racist should I attempt to learn the Russian version known as "tati-tati" or the "Cutlet Polka" although that version alternates the notes between the hands rather than playing them at the same time in harmony?


    Is there a Thai version?
