    I wish I could see you .. :D !
    My dad tought me and from the first time I knew how to use them .. :anime: .. and now .. every thing that I can eat with chopstiks I eat them with chopstiks :sweat2: !!!

    Matt .. you should hold the first one like holding a pen or something .. while the other one is between your thumb and your forefinger and make sure that both of the stiks are at the same tall ..
    I hope that I made a progress .. :sweat2: !

    I think I'm turning Japanese when I see an adorable something-or-other and have the urge to say, "So kawaii!" before realising that no one in my gene pool has a clue what that means!
    I don't speak japanese, just a few isolated words that I've learned from watching subbed anime (or from Jackal-chan.)

    Who's been reading my mind?! Okay, yeah. I learned to use chopsticks really easily, and found out in the process that when Junqian's mom says she'll do something, she's not kidding.

    Anyway, yeah, I think I'm assimilating Japanese culture and making it my own. I picked up alot using my japanese dictionary and my anime subs, but I've yet to take lessons. I want to!

    I know more (alot more) than your average otaku, but that's in romanji. I know some symbols.

    Anyway, everybody's said what I wanted to!

    I think im turning Japanese when i eat Japanese food, with chopsticks (which is about all i eat with anymore), while reading manga.

    Also, when i watch anime in Japanese launguage, no subs and i actually undterstand some of it! (while eating a japanese dish with chopsticks, of course.)

    ...I stepped onto Japanese ground 4-5 years ago :D . I dunno, sometimes I feel I'm a Japanese turned into my current state ... maybe cold water caused it :D

    And since I'm Chinese, holding chopsticks doesn't give me any 'i'm-turning-jap' feeling. Oh, and by the way, I can't hold chopsticks the super-proper way. Practising day in day out.

    I need more cold soba noodles.

    I know I'm turning Japanese when I move next to Japanes neighbors who are slowly taking my sanity and converting me. I dream in anime. Seriously. When I imagine, it's in anime.

    That's very sad.
