Ha! Was it Thailand? Thailand is weird because you eat food deemed Chinese with chopsticks, and food deemed Thai with a fork and spoon, and displaying some Chinese heritage is a prestige thing


For me it was Laos, Thailand, and Yunnan province of China. :)

The Lao didn't care, we mostly ate with our hands. Thai were all over the place, but man did I get schooled hard while we were in Yunnan!


> displaying some Chinese heritage is a prestige thing

Considering the amount of racism towards Chinese I have encountered in Thailand, I somewhat doubt that.


But you’d be wrong! The locals can be vocally pretty hostile to mainlanders, but it’s important to have a Chinese grandparent. Source: ask any of your hi-so Thai friends
