Some time ago, my seniors went on a student exchange to Japan,
to be precise to the university of ibaraki, the cost is borne by the campus and can get a few yen pocket money,
he was there for 40 days,
and when he returned to the homeland, he gave me a pair of wooden chopsticks
it's straight from japan, what a surprise for me!
I never even asked for it, but I rarely use chopsticks, have to use them often
how was your experience eating using chopsticks?
what about you, do you often get souvenirs from your friends or family who are abroad?

Welcome to this wonderful community.
I stayed in Tokyo for few months and tried chopsticks but could not get it well. My elder daughter is a pro at it and we have few pairs here that she uses regularly.
So thoughtful of your friend

@youfiq I have given up on it. Perhaps crossed the age to learn and master challenging things

As a kid we ate a lot of Asian food so I had no issue with eating with chopsticks. I would get teased because I would use them a lot and rarely used a knife and fork

I really like that he went to Japan for 40 days and gave you a pair of chop sticks. We went to Japan and found it to be very expensive. We began in a traditional hotel in Osaka. It had a floor with mats on. I opened a cupboard and set out our bedding which was at ground level. We went to Kyoto and stayed in another traditional hotel. I usually get the souvenirs on my own. I have a collection of costume dolls and fridge magnets of the places I have traveled to.

wow, do you have a collection of fridge magnets? this is like a collection belonging to my lecturer on campus, he has traveled around many countries and collected fridge magnets and a collection letter that symbolizes that he was invited to various countries, he posted his collection in his private office on campus, I've seen it
