Well, just 2 more days before I fly back to california.

It is also about time too. Cause you know you been in bangkok too long when..

You stand still on escalators, without even thinking of walking.

You put a plastic bag on your head when it starts raining.

You don't think twice before picking your nose in public.

You sleep with just a fan at night because air conditioning is too cold.

You wear a jacket in " winter " months of December and January even though it is 30 degrees outside.

You hate the tought of all those pistols at Songkran.

You want to punch someone who touches your head.

You go back home and you take your shoes off before you go in your friend's house.

You eat pizza with ketchup on it.

You complain to the waiter that your food does not have enough chili peppers or fermented fish sauce in it.

You don't even notice the stray dogs that live under the table in the restaurant.

You sit sidesaddle on motorbikes (if you're a girl of course).

You don't mind sharing the one water cup at the water cooler with the 300 other employees at your workplace.

You spend most of your time at work eating, thinking about your next meal or discussing your last meal with your colleagues.

You've developed the ability to sleep anytime, anywhere, regardless of the noise, the situation, or your body position.

You are uncomfortable with public displays of affection but don't notice the massage parlors everywhere.

You refer to katoeys (transvestites) as She.

When visiting a zoo you start wondering what the different animal would taste like.

You come across a terrible crime / accident scene and you pose for a photo with the corpse.

You use your mobile phone in inapropriate public places (e.g. movie theatres, elevators, sitting in the bathroom) and share your conversation with everyone.

You publicly admit to liking durian.

You don't think there is any such thing as too gaudy a piece of jewelry..

Watch a whole movie through the window of a video shop

- the soi dogs know you, follow you around stop barking at you

-when you can read the price list of the local barber and realize you were paying 10 baht too much for everything all along "You mean a haircut WITH a shave is 50baht?

-when you know if two thirds of the shops are closed it is a Chinese holiday and when all of the shops are closed it is a Thai holiday.

- Sending an SMS while riding on the back of a moto-cy taxi seems normal.

-You know the current sell price for a baht of gold within B100.

-You get in the back seat of any car, even your own.

-You can talk your way out of a bribe/ticket when stopped by the police.

-when you start a conversation with the taxi about his life before he starts one with you.

-when you can tell by the drivers accent that he is fresh from the fields

-when you know all of the Thai kids in your building

-when loud Thai music doesn't drive you crazy while your relaxing in your room
