You think you're turning native when...

[dumbdonkey]

meaningless and off topic question again

This is the most meaningful thread ever.

- You might be turning native when, instead of screaming like a little girl and jumping away when a cockroach is flying straight at your face, you kung-fu smack it out of the air without batting an eyelid, then continue picking your nose.

- When you're almost at your bus stop and you see your bus about to take off without you, you just start running on the road in front of it while waving your arms. Who cares you might get run over!? You would have to wait a whole 5 more minutes if you can't be on this bus!!!

When you are absolutely germophobic. It's ironic though cause most of the places you see locals live in are constantly dripping with AC water and reeks of a constant odor.

And is it a local or classy thing that you see locals eating a hamburger or pizza with forks and knives? I honestly have not seen anyone do this in the states.

Agree with your first point, but with respect to your second, we're not in the States!

Another classic Yi Long. I saw that today when a young bloke in a suit went flying on to Kings rd to stop the minibus that was about to pass by. It was bad enough on a quiet street, but it was Kings rd! Nobody was shocked though, the locals have seen it a thousand times before!

I can't leave home without my packet of knock-off tempos and can only buy newspaper pre-packed in a plastic bag with the knock-off tempo.

Reminds me of last week in Mong Kok, where a middle-aged woman was almost splatted by a cab (Nathan Rd) before my eyes cause she thought it was a green light. Everyone just starts walking through the red light once there is a 3 second gap between cars passing by.

Cab just managed to slow down and beep enough (screeching halt) to let her run/jump out of the way enough. "I thought it was green"
