I never could master the use of chopsticks. Probably should have practiced before I went on the trips.

I wanted to buy a nice set for my new son-in-law, and I ended up buying a set from Amazon in Japan. I finally found a company that used a natural lacquer, but I could only get them directly from Japan. I don't think I've ever used Google Translate to read so many reviews before in my life. LOL.
