You think you're turning native when...

[virago]

When you buy a metal trolley to cart boxes and recycling.

When you carry a cloth to mop the sweat from your brow while outside.

[MisoMayi]

When you say 'woah' when you hear an unexpected loud noise

[MisoMayi]

When (if you are a male) you start rolling up your t shirt into a crop top.

[Watercooler]

when you pretend you are still a little girl acting all cute flashing a "V" sign in front of a camera...despite being an utter bitch the rest of the time.

when you instinctively use chopsticks instead of fork and knives during meal time

when you start swearing in cantonese

when you cut off others and drive like a maniac (like your taxi and minibus driver).

when you become obsessed with the property market and always look to make a killing there.

[HKITperson]

when the first thing you do is to take pictures when the food arrives
when you still have cute hello Kittys phone straps even though you are over 40
when you queue up for 10 hours just to see the first or last of something
when you blue murder when some guy is looking at you as though you have a 36E chest but in reality a 32A
when you stop suddenly at the top or bottom of escalators pondering the meaning of life

Obviously it is just too easy for some to have a dig a local mannerisms...

It would be more interesting if people could post things they find themselves doing rather than things they find odd or dislike about the local way of life,

Unless HKITperson really does have a Hello Kitty phone straps...

[Elegiaque]

When you can no longer correctly pronounce the English word "why". (Drives me MAD that I can't!)

Yup, sometimes you just have to let the inner sarcasm out

I say woah at any noise not just loud ones and my husband thinks rolling up his t shirt is an ok way to cool down when out and about!
