Well, that was different. I've never had chopsticks at formal hall before. Given the incompetence with which I use them and the cost of dry-cleaning a gown, it's probably just as well that this doesn't often happen.

Heh! Don't worry about any chopstick-related incompetence.

I spent two weeks with ayumie in Japan where I could only use chopsticks for the whole time, and at the end of my holidays, it was still a daily struggle with the damned things. The Japanese were most amused by me, though.

What did they serve at formal hall, though?

Not very authentic Chinese food, with half the Hall staff in Chinese themed fancy dress. No idea what was going on there, but I suppose it stops us getting bored...

Maybe it was a ... um, a link to Guy Fawkes Night, as the Chinese invented gunpowder and all?

Okay, not very likely, admittedly.
