DAY

Day three of trying to use chopsticks before my month-long trip. There's 10 days left to learn how to use chopsticks and I'm back with the plastic. Let's set ourselves up for success here. Hold just like that. Go. Hold it like a pencil. Go up and down. I'm already having issues. Alright, some more pasta here. Let's see if we can, uh, pick something up. Oh, man. Alright, here we go. Keeps. Let's keep slipping. We pick up this shrimp. Let's. Alright, let's pick up some pasta. I feel like that's an easier target. Go. Hi, Leon. My name is Susie, and your video came up on my FYP and I wanted to see if I could help. I've done this tutorial before and people said that it was helpful. So I thought I'd do it again. Red means stop, green means go. This red chopstick, which is the bottom, we'll call it like the base chopstick. It does not move. It does not move. This stays completely stationary in your hand. And what you're gonna wanna do is open your hand and this should go pressed up against your first knuckle on your middle finger. Now, some, I saw that you were doing it, do it against their ring finger. You can do that. I just find it to be a little bit more difficult. So I would say take this. Press this against your middle finger. And there should be a good amount of, I'm pressing pretty hard. Like, it's, this stays stationary. Like this does not move. It does not wiggle. It is a fixed point. Then you take this, which is the, which is the go chopstick. This is the one that actually kind of draws the food in between. So the tension is in my thumb and it's pushing against both of these chopsticks. And the chopstick is underneath my finger. And it's just doing that. This. The, the green one, is the one that moves. See? See that red one? It's not moving at all. It's not going anywhere. I hope that made sense, and I hope you find this helpful and I hope you have an amazing trip!
