- You're the last of your first group of friends still here.
- You have to pause and translate your phone number into English before giving it out.
- You ask fellow foreigners the all-important questions: "Where are you from?", "How long have you been here?" "How long are you here for?", "What are you here for?", and "How's your Chinese?" in order to be able to properly categorize them.
- Your family stops asking when you'll be coming back.
- You've been to more going-away parties than birthday parties.
- Racism is normal and accepted. Just try shopping while white and see the prices you're quoted.
- Other foreigners give you a funny look when you tell them how long you've been here.
- Pollution, what pollution?
- You get homesick for Chinese food when away from China.
- "Non-smoking", "last call", and "a healthy liver" are all things you doubt you'll ever see again.
