I once met a young family from South Africa while I was touring Florida who asked me if I ate using chopsticks since I was Asian. I said we do not and never do so unless we eat in Chinese, Japanese or Korean restaurant. For some Asian cultures however, chopsticks are as essential to eating as wooden walking canes are to old people. Chopsticks help them eat while walking canes help them walk.

People who use wooden walking canes today have more choices than people who used them generations ago. Today’s wooden walking canes come in several designs; some are thicker some are curved and others even with carvings on them. Wooden walking sticks are usually made from hard, sturdy wood. They are meant to support a certain amount of weight. The bottoms of these walking sticks usually have rubber in them so that they do not slip.
