The screaming truck comes around early in the morning and you go buy your produce and fish from it.
You cross the street without even thinking about looking both ways.
You have seen 20 teachers come and go at your school/hagwon.
The students at your school/hagwon don't talk about you when you are around because they know you understand Korean.
You have seen 20 bartenders come and go at your favorite watering hole. |

You know you haven't been around here long enough when...
The screaming truck comes around early in the morning and you still debate whether to throw raw eggs or tomatoes at it, yell shut up or just put earphones on.
You cross the street looking both ways, twice.
You remember the names of the teachers who have come and gone at your school/hagwon.
The students at your school/hagwon talk about you when you are around but you don't know and don't care.
You don't have a favorite watering hole. |

When you dress like a Korean male supermodel.
When your bum looks two dimensional.
You wear flip flops to a formal setting.
You brush your teeth while they bleed.
You can ride a bus and not even flinch.
You have dingle-berries hanging from your cell phone.
You can't pronounce the word "fork". |

You know you've been here too long when you're reading the fifth or sixth, 'you know you've been here too long', thread on Dave's. |

You go back to your home country for a vacation and find yourself bowing to greet others. |
