- You also say to your friends 'did you see that white guy?' when you see another white person in the street.
- You think £2 is ridiculously expensive for a beer.
- And paying £10 for a huge Western meal (including drink) is a once in a blue moon treat.
- You cross the street when the red man is showing, because you know that's probably the safest option.
- You speak to everyone using hand gestures for EVERYTHING. Even the English people.
- Squat toilets don't bother you anymore. Well... not really
- You start humming the tune to popular Chinese songs that are played everywhere when you're alone.
- You don't think it's strange that big groups of people just start randomly line dancing in sync in the middle of the street
- ...and you kind of want to join in.
- You chase down people like a loan shark who owe you the equivalent of a few quid.
- You feel a bit insulted when Chinese people meet you and don't say you're beautiful (not because I'm vain, but because 99% of them will... it's a bit of a favourite word here).

- You forget all about major UK holidays
like Easter and Mothers Day but know exactly when Qing Ming is.
- The noodle man at the food market knows your order.
