Anyway, it reminds me of an incident here in Philippine soil. I got to know an exchange student (ROTEX).. He was from Japan, and he was scolded by a teacher for drinking soup the way it was done in Japan, that is not by the use of spoon or whatever's been taught to us in fine dining.

He held the soup bowl in his hands, and drank it like we drink water (with matching noisy slurping sounds--> they say this will show your appreciation, making sounds while drinking it) , the teacher got mad (I don't know what subject it was, or it was lunch or I can't remember the details..), he was made to stand in the corner.. He complained that was how they did it, and the teacher told him that is wrong and that is bad manners and wrong etiquette in the table etc.. hmph...

Different people, different culture, it's difficult to get along with everyone that's for sure..
