Stephen-san has mastered the use of chopsticks. He now eats everything with chopsticks.

The Japanese word for fork is foku, the word for knife is naifu. Gaijin tip: Just add a "u" to the end...and ka-bam! you are speaking Japanese!

Gohan is cooked rice. Also means meal. The Japanese don't think that you have had a proper meal unless one has consumed a bit of rice.

Breakfast is Asagohon. Lunch is Hirogohan. Dinner is Bongohon.

One more Gaijin tip: Add "o" to the end of a term. To waiter: Where is the toilet? Waiter: Blank face. To waiter: Toilet-o. Waiter: Ah! ...points... Must be careful when using this trick however...many words have several different meanings...and adding a "u" or an "o" just may change the word into something very improper! ...which would REALLY give you away as a Gaijin!

Looks like your slacking off on the dress code, Stephen. Perhaps its better not to put the silk at risk when practicing with the sticks.

Have you tried eating a "hambaga" with the sticks yet? I wouldn't recommend it.

Hey wanker where's the tie? You're creating quite a scandal back here in Micro Cubesville.
