Random story: My wife's Korean family always comment on how I'm better at using chopsticks then them, it's something that always seems to come up. In fact one of the first things my wife proudly said to my in-laws when we first met was "look he's so much better at chopsticks than us" - I just graciously declined the compliment, insisted it's not true etc and moved on, but always makes me chuckle at bit and I've never asked why they think that for fear of appearing rude (or that they're being polite because I'm white). Thing is... I find Korean chopstick style way easier to use than Chinese. I learned to use chopsticks on Chinese sticks + Lateral Chick held at the very very top of the sticks, these days I mostly use standard, and adjusting to Korean chopsticks from Chinese is almost like moving from driving stick to auto. I guess the sticks matter as much as a grip. :)
