Chopstick Etiquette:

• Hold your chopsticks towards their end, not in the middle or the front third. This helps in picking up larger pieces of food.
• When you are not using your chopsticks, or have finished eating, lay them down in front of you with the tips to left.
• Do not spear food with your chopsticks.
• Do not point with your chopsticks at anyone
• Do not wave your chopsticks around in the air or play with them.
• Do not move plates or bowls around with your chopsticks.
• If you have already eaten with your chopsticks, use the opposite end to take food from a shared plate.
• Do not stick chopsticks into your food, especially not into rice. This is only done at funerals with rice that is put onto the altar.
• Do not pass food directly from your set of chopsticks to another's. Again, this is a funeral tradition that involves the bones of a cremated body
