"The difficulty of chopsticks"

"The difficulty of chopsticks" by Steve Adams

While in corporate America, I was honored to run the intern program for our company.  Each year, I would get talented students from local schools and colleges.  One year, I walked into the lobby to meet my new intern and found a bright eyed young South Korean man named Yu-jun.  

As the internship progressed, I found that I was learning many cultural things from him too.  After his internship concluded, his family invited my wife and me over for supper.  We were thrilled and walked in to find a spread of food completely covering the table, all Korean.  His mom must have cooked for DAYS.

The supper went well and as I neared the end of my plate while trying to use chopsticks as a novice, I realized I had no idea how to pick up the strawberries…  I discretely tried to watch what Yu-jun did and almost laughed out loud when I saw him violently stab his strawberry with his chopstick.  To this day, I don’t know the proper method, but the strawberry was good…
