An essay about eating habits.
Hello teachers!
I wrote an essay about eating habits.
Please correct any grammar mistakes as well as unnatural expressions.
Thanks in advance!
I don't eat without a spoon!
When you eat a bowl of rice with toppings, which do you prefer to use, chopsticks or spoon? I have an experience of culture shock about Japanese eating habits that they use chopsticks only. There are a variety of cultures all over the wordl. As we live in a different countries, we barely have opportunities to share our intercultural differences. We need to know how different they are and how to accept those dissimilarty.
One of the most interesting culture shocks I have undergone in Japan was eating most of the dishes with chopstiks only. When I first arrived in Japan, I went to a reataurant near the airport. And I ordered a bowl of rice with pork cutlet, which is famous for Japanese food. Before long, the dish was served with chopsticks. I thought that the staff made a mistake and I asked for a spoon. However, there was even no spoon at all. I was very uncomfortable eating food without a spoon for the first time. After I stayed a few days in Japan, I realized that it is a eating habit of the country. Most of the side dishes are dry and they are served with sticky cooked rice. Also, when they have soup, they usually drink it. Even though there is a Japanese spoon called 'lengae', it is used only for eating noodles such as ramen or udon. There's no need to use a spoon.
In Korea, on the other hand, the rice is boiled rather harder than Japanes one. Sharing a big pot of soup in the middle of the table is commin in Korean's table. That way, it is naturally developed to use spoons as one of Korean eating habits. In addition, you should not make noise when eating soup. It is very rude to drink soup with noise. When such case happens, Koreans might be upset about the misbehavior.
In couclusion, the culture shock that I experienced in Japan reminded me of differences between people who live in other places. Even though I was shocked at first, it helped me understand the culture.

Well, this is irrelevant, but if you come to Malaysia, you'll realise some Malays eat using their hands only. No chopsticks or spoons. This is their culture too.
