So here's another little lesson in Chinese culture for you. Of course, as with most anything that comes from me, this isn't a hard and fast documented rule, just something Jason and I observed.
Chinese people don't like to eat with their hands.

It does make sense. In a country with a billion people spitting, going to the bathroom, and blowing their nose tissue-less right there on the street, it would be healthier to never even put your hands near your mouth.
KFC is a big deal over there, but the whole eating chicken with your hands thing just throws them for a loop. Jason and I have watched them eat it while holding it in a napkin, wearing their own personal disposable gloves, and our fav...with chopsticks.
So I wasn't surprised at all when I found Kyle enjoying his breakfast of Lit'l Smokies like this:
