Basic Chopstick Etiquette
Now that you can successfully bring food from your plate to your mouth by using chopsticks, knowing some basic etiquette will make you that much more of a pro.
Despite the temptation to play with them, remember that chopsticks are eating utensils, just as a knife and fork. You would never play drums on the table with two spoons, point at someone with a fork, or leave a knife standing vertically stuck into a steak -- treat chopsticks the same!
When taking a break, place your chopsticks in a tidy fashion to the right of your plate, preferably with the tips on the provided rest and without pointing them in anyone's immediate direction. Putting chopsticks on top of your bowl or plate indicates that you are finished and the staff may whisk it away!
