Spoon and Fork for you?
Asian waiters and take-out people seem to underestimate me. Yes I can eat with chopsticks!
I know everyone is trying to be nice and I know many Australians that can't eat with chopsticks. So I suppose it is something I will have to put up with as long as I have light skin and my funny accent.
I did laugh when I discovered that at the resort I stayed at recently in Penang one of the daily activities was chopstick class. I hope they give you little grains of non-sticky rice to really test your skills!

You'd think that most Australians know how to use chopsticks by now. Especially those Australians who travel. Although, my Mum, who is quite the traveller, asks for cutlery when we go to Japansese / Chinese restaurants.
Reminds me of a friend who was so proud of being able to eat with chopsticks that he asked for them with a big smile on his face in a Thai restaurant (the Thais generally eat with a spoon and fork).
