20. The Japanese were using knives and forks in public 60 years ago.

I am a military kid and spent some years in Japan.
Americans would be the only ones using chop sticks in some restaurants.
It was funny.

Of course China is completely different from Japan on so many levels.

Chinese still use chopsticks to this day.
I visited China about ten years ago and have Chinese friends.
And love everything about Asia.

I will do better with our new Chinese lord and master.

I know nothing about Russia, nor do I want to.
