    Here's a couple more:
    - You are shocked seeing an obese person
    - You feel safe on the street at night

    I now know that you aren't a teacher in a local primary or secondary school.

    When you do not find it weird seeing a fat white guy walking down the street with a petite asian girl hand in hand.

    When you start to find reasons to justify paying 6 times the price for fresh healthy ( nutricious ) food from responsible sources.

    The day you wake up to the fact that you've earned 'more than enough,' that it's time to pot out and get off the expat merry go round. .

    When you keep coming back to geoexpat after long sabbaticals just to see how many of the oldies are still around and how many new have joined in, are there any new arguments being spun or its "same old same old"...

    Asia is really a happy person that I like a lot, people are super nice, we find beautiful landscapes, the food is really good, it's a different culture with incredible national holidays, a special atmosphere

    Agree with that, unfortunately little of it applies to HK

    When you put your hand over your mouth to filter out the air pollution.

    Sure, but that was not the question
