First you must have (two) drumsticks. At the ends of these drumsticks you will find a bony, grisly coated thing, grab the two drumsticks by the bony, grisly parts and scoot them around real fast on your plate, this is called (spinning your drum sticks), then you can eat them. I like mine with BBQ sauce! HA HA HA HA !!!!!

Not trying to be smart; but the least expensive and most convenient way is, if you know someone who is going to Hong Kong, ask them to bring the stuff for you.\n\nIf you are looking for something cheap, even the least expensive way would still be quite expensive.

Stick them in the middle section between your middle and 4th finger and practice spinning them without dropping them. It takes a while.  \n\nIf you learn traditional grip- you can come up with your own way to spin them all around.\n\nYou could also practice tossing drumsticks because I think it looks and feels cooler.

Yes, it is not easy as an interpreter when having meals, both parties may get excited about the food & wine (may be getting drunk too) and talk to each other with different languages and while having food in their mouths without giving you enough time to think or translate, and usually the interpreter has no time to eat!\n\nI would translate them as follows\n\n東坡肘子 - Su Dong Po or Hangzhou style braised pig knuckles with soy sauce  \n\n梅菜扣肉 - Cantonese (Hakka) style steamed pork belly with soy sauce and Chinese pickles\n\nP.S.  to those who don't know who's Dong Po :\n\nSu Dong Po or Su Shi (1037 - 1101) was a very famous  poet / painter / politician in Sung Dynasty who also well known as one of the "Three Sus" in Chinese Literture with his father and his younger brother.  He also wrote about recipes and food in his poem or essays, this dish is name after him and people believes that he invented this recipe when he was the governer of Hangzhou.

You can't. To be safe get yourself an international driver's license using your Chinese license. Tickets are expensive in Europe. Better be safe than sorry. GET an international license.

English with less formality\n\nFor the main course the fork is held in the left hand. The first finger is pointed and sits on the back of the handle closest to but not on the head of the fork. All the other fingers close around and grasp the handle of the fork. \n\nThe knife is held in the right hand with the first finger pointing and at the base of the blade and the same grasp as the fork.\n\nWhen using the knife and fork the knife is only to cut food and the fork is always pointing down and only stabs the food to bring it to the mouth. Anything else is unaceptable.\n\nThe question comes up about how to eat peas and corn kernals. The cook in this case should provide mashed potato so that the fork and knife push the peas or corn into the mashed potato and then eaten as above. If that fails then the knife is placed on the edge of the plate and the fork is swapped to right hand where it is rotated and allowed to scoop up the peas and corn.\n\nTwo types of spoons are used, the first is the round spoon for soup and the egg shaped spoon for desert. They are used on there own and in the right hand. You use a soup spoon by dipping in the spoon at the back and drink from the front, the desert spoon can be used to cut fruit with it's edge closest to you and it is used the same way as the fork. \n\nThe placement on the table is the side they used and outside in, in order of use.

Have you tried a Japanese restaurant?  Seriously.  If you're that adamant about speaking to Japanese people, that would be a great place to start.

in regards to fengshui and rice, i can only think of the way you cook rice. if your using a stove, the knobs of the stove should face the your good directions; if your using a rice cooker, some books advices to point the wire where electricity is going into the cooker to your good direction, but some masters suggest to point the controls/ knobs to your good directions.\n\nregarding the packet, i still believe that my method above is more powerful as far as attracting wealth is concerned than putting the rice packet.
