Kevin, It does take a while to learn how to use chopsticks. You hold one like apencil and balance the other, using your middle finger to move it back andforth. It is best to watch someone using them to learn how yourself. No, we don't use them in all restaurants. A popular dish here is soupwith noodles.
People eat the noodles with chopsticks then drink the soupwhich is left.
Leah, We are living in buildings which have ben constructed to be new apartmentsfor people after the Games. They are being used for the Olympics thenother families will move in. The apartments are very much like apartments in the United States. Thebalconies have wonderful views of the mountains and the M-Wave. The M-Waveis where the speed skating races will be held.
