Have you ever eaten in a foreign restaurant? Where? What did you eat? Did you make any mistakes? Please explain your experience. Did you learn anything?
I used to eat in a restaurant in America when I lived there. Though I do not remember if I made any mistakes, I had some interesting experiences that I want to explain. What is the most interesting is that many Amreican people use chapsticks very well. It seems difficult for some people to use them, but they are still trying to use them correctly and enjoy Japanese or Chinese food. I was impressed that they try to eat foreign food in the traditional way even if it is difficult. I think their attitudes are very nice.
Also, each country has each manner traditionally or religiously when people eat . When we eat food in a foreign country, we , of course, do not know the manners perfectly. However, we need to appeciate the food or service, for example, if we go to a restaurant there. it is at least what we can do even if we do not really know manners in foreign countries.

Hello. I think it's difficult even for Japanese to use chopstick properly. So it's matter of course that foreigners can't use it.
I agree with your idea. That's good to try to have each country's food for their way. But I think we also have to have open mind. In the class, we leaned about table manners and I thought if I didn't know what is taboo in each country, I will be rude. But I thought,on the other hand,if people who come from foreign country were eating at Japanese restaurant and if they didn't know japanese table manner, I don't think it's rude. We should try to understand each other.
