Why long?

I will tell you about the difference between Japanese chopstick and Korean one. First, usually Japanese chopstick is made from wood but Korean one is made from iron so Korean one is a little bit heavier than that of Japanese. Second, usually Japanese one is shorter than that of Korean. I think this is because of the difference of table manner . In Japan, It is not bad manner to hold up your bowl and touch it to your mouth, so it's no problem to be short. But in Korea, it is not good manner, so their eating utensils are usually longer than westerns' eating utensils. (For example knives and forks).
