For those who want to do as the Koreans do when dining, that is, use chopsticks instead of forks and knives, there is another custom that needs to be remembered. Never stick the chopsticks upright in the bowl after finishing the meal or stick it in the rice upright when you pause for a while. This is because the chopsticks will resemble the incense used at a funeral, causing people to lose their appetite.
