Why strongly recommend international students to bring two pairs of chopsticks when studying abroad?
Family, it's just outrageous! The first meal on my first night abroad for studies turned out to be instant noodles, and to top it off, the 'security' was provided by a straw 🤨. Let me break it down for you.
After a more than twenty-hour flight, we landed in London in the middle of the night. Drenched in rain, we finally reached the hotel, completely exhausted and starving. So, we decided to order takeout from a convenience store.
Guess what! Can you believe this? No chopsticks! Can you imagine the horror? 😱
Later, I found out that in the UK, they never include chopsticks with takeout, even if you specifically request it 🫣.
Here's a piece of advice for all you fresh international students – make sure to bring a pair of chopsticks when you head abroad!!
