I apparantly did something extremely rude without knowing it was. I was eating some Teppenyaki with Nelson and Sterling, and while drinking, i’ve left my chopsticks stuck in the rice bowl. Nelson and Sterling told me to stop doing that, becuase it’s considered one of the most rude things you can do. Apparantly, it’s like saying to the person in front of you, you want him dead. My tour book never mentioned anything like that as far as i remember reading…
It’s amazing how something so simple can be considered such a vile act, Nelson compared it to Middle fingering. The reason it’s considered rude is because on chinese “shivaa” you stick an incense stick in a rice bowl.


Thank god it was only Nelson and Sterling, and i hope i didn’t offend them….
I also hope not to do anything else rude…
