You think McDonald's and KFC taste good. 25. Your Mandarin is better than many Chinese and you often correct their bad pronunciation. 26. You no longer like to introduce China to newcomers. 27. When Chinese don't stare at you, you wonder why. 28. Firecrackers can no longer wake you up. 29. You like to have hot soup with your dinner and not a cold drink. 30. Chinese ask you for directions. 31. After leaving China you miss Chinese food. 32. In summer time you roll your pants up to your knees when it’s too hot. 33. When entering your house you change into slippers. 34. You think it is strange to pay a lot for software. 35. When the person sitting next to you on the bus wants to get by you don't stand up, just twist sideways. 36. You begin to think your nose is too big. 37. When in a taxi you hum along with the Chinese pop music on the radio. 38. You now consider soy sauce to be a cooking ingredient, not a condiment. 39. In the winter you carry around a tea thermos and refill it with hot water all day long. 40. You blog only 4 times a year, and when you do you just copy other people's entries, and post it on your own with several additions and subtractions without giving them credit.[/quote]
