mercy fork

this evening i was sitting in a chinese restaurant, eating chinese noodles.

when i had finished my plate, i noticed that something was different. something had changed.

that is when i remembered that during my first weeks here, somewhere around six to seven minutes into the vahid-trying-to-eat-with-chopsticks adventure, a nice waitress was always offering me a mercy fork.

i can officially eat with chopsticks now.

china, i’m ready.
