Wouldn't you be considered more 'exotic' if you used western uensils when in the east?

From my understanding the Chinese actually invented forks.
Bone forks have been found in archaeological sites of the Bronze Age Qijia culture (2400–1900 BC), the Shang dynasty (c. 1600–c. 1050 BC), as well as later Chinese dynasties.[1]

Re: Why Did 'Asian' Replace The Word 'Oriental' & Other Things?

pretentious... It's them trying to be PC and looking down on those who don't buy into it. I say oriental. i say asian. and if i know what area of asia, i'll use it instead like japanese food or the korean guy, or chinese literature.... its just people having a superiority complex.
