My Imbecility


I came across this picture the other day that my friend Marcie (one of the great folks from the CIEE Silk Road trip) sent me. I suppose I might be posting it because it reminds me of the thousand and one incredible meals we had in China, and, well, truthfully, that is part of it. However, I think I'm probably posting it because it is a reminder of how inept I am at all things (probably being re-enforced by my clumsy battles with Arabic). We used chop sticks during every meal in China, and it's not as if I had never used them before that point, but during one of our last meals a student turned to me and asked if this was the first time I had ever tried them. I could only smile.
