Chinese traditional chopsticks (传统筷) are far more than just eating utensils — they’re a living symbol of cultural grace, craftsmanship, and culinary ritual. In New Zealand, as Asian cuisine continues to soar in popularity, more Kiwis are reaching for authentic, artisan-made chopsticks as part of a broader appreciation for East Asian culture and mindful dining.
These handcrafted chopsticks — often made of bamboo, rosewood, boxwood, or lacquered hardwood — tell stories of dynasty-era etiquette, family customs, and sustainable material use. With Aotearoa’s growing Asian diaspora and interest in slow food, traditional chopsticks are now being embraced in homes, restaurants, and design spaces across the country.
From Wellington’s night markets to Auckland’s boutique kitchenware stores, traditional Chinese chopsticks are being sold not only as practical tools but as art objects and cultural gifts. They’re also becoming part of fusion dining experiences, Asian cooking classes, and even ceremonial practices like weddings or Lunar New Year celebrations.
This cultural crossover is helping New Zealanders reconnect with the values of intention, elegance, and heritage at the dinner table. Whether it’s using chopsticks to elevate a homemade dumpling feast or gifting them as a sign of respect, these humble tools are quietly reshaping how we eat — and how we connect across cultures.

The President’s Top Secret Limousine: What’s Really Inside "The Beast"?
When the President of the United States travels, so does one of the world’s most mysterious and secure vehicles — a vehicle known only as “The Beast.” More than just a car, it’s a rolling fortress, a symbol of American power, and a masterpiece of classified engineering.
Let’s go behind the bulletproof glass and explore what makes this limo unlike anything else on the road.
🛡️ 1. What is “The Beast”?
Officially called Cadillac One, this custom-built limousine is commissioned by the U.S. Secret Service and designed by General Motors. It looks like a stretched Cadillac, but beneath the surface is military-grade tech and defensive systems designed to protect the most powerful person on Earth.
🔒 2. Armor That Defies Imagination
5-inch thick bulletproof glass
8-inch thick armor-plated doors (as heavy as a Boeing 757 cabin door)
A sealed cabin to withstand chemical, biological, and nuclear attacks
Reinforced steel and titanium chassis to survive roadside bombs and IEDs
⚙️ 3. Secret Tech & Gadgets
Night vision and infrared cameras
Satellite phone with direct lines to the Pentagon and Vice President
Tear gas cannons and a shotgun onboard
Smoke screens and oil slick dispensers for escape scenarios
Advanced communication jammers to block remote-triggered explosives
🚑 4. Built-In Medical Emergency Features
Refrigerator stocked with the President’s own blood type
Oxygen supply and fire suppression system
Life-support systems for trauma response
👥 5. Security Convoy
“The Beast” rarely travels alone. It’s part of a motorcade that includes:
Decoy limos to confuse threats
SUVs filled with Secret Service agents
An electronic warfare vehicle to counter attacks
Press and support vehicles for logistics
🧠 Fun Fact:
The President doesn't just have one Beast — there are a dozen or more, rotated constantly so no one knows which one the President is really in.
🏁 Final Word
In the world of elite protection, “The Beast” is unmatched. It’s not just a limo—it's a statement of power, preparedness, and protection. The exact specifications are top secret, but what we do know is enough to blow your mind.
