I'm learning, I'm learning. Although the food is probably quite hygienic (even street vendors use the old inverted plastic bag trick, and never touch the food when serving), one's fingers definitely are NOT hygienic. All sorts of bugs, including the dreaded hep, can be picked up on the fingers - just by handling money (it really is quite filthy), gripping rails in buses, pushing doors, even shaking hands. So what's the point of using your fingers when eating finger food, like steamed pork buns (yum!) if they have not been thoroughly washed first? I'm learning to use the old inverted plastic bag trick.
