A late entry for a February photo assignment. I was struggling with what I could photograph that could fit this theme, and came across these chopsticks. A number of things immediately came to mind. I love:

• Asian Cuisine: This is the obvious first thought, but I really do love it! The first restaurants I'd ever eaten at from a very early age were Chinese. My tastes have grown over the years to include other Asian cuisines, including Japanese (sushi!), Thai, and Vietnamese (and so have my skills in using chopsticks).
  
• My Family and Friends: Although I've had my share of lonely Chinese take-out meals, I have also had countless memorable meals over the years with family and friends.


• Disney: Who else but a huge Disney fan would own chopsticks with Disney characters on them?


• To Travel: These particular chopsticks were purchased in Hong Kong, during a trip to Asia with someone who is very special to me.

Who would have thought that a bunch of silly sticks could conjure up so many wonderful thoughts and memories!
