From the Seven Castles Blog comes 130 signs you’ve been in China too long. I won’t re-publish the whole lot here, but instead I encourage you to head over to Seven Castles and read them all for yourself.

Here are a few that I found myself guilty of:

9. You buy a round trip air ticket in China.
11. You start calling other foreigners Lao Wai.
22. Your body no longer needs dairy products.
27. You have to pause and translate your phone number into English before telling it to someone.
34. You see some real cleavage and think WOW!
35. You ask fellow foreigners the all-important question “How long have you been here?” in order to be able to properly categorize them.
62. Firecrackers don’t wake you up.
67. You (male) wear white socks with your business suits.
76. The shortest distance between two points involves going through an alley.
113. You draw characters on your hand to make yourself understood.
117. You aren’t aware that one is supposed to pay for software.
119. You get offended when people admire your chopsticks skills.
121. Your collection of business cards has outgrown your flat.
