You know you've been in China too long when...

- You push your way onto the escalator, standing one step behind the next person-- only to realize that you're the only two people ON the thing. Time to regrow that personal bubble!
- Your daughter takes off her shoes before going into the airport playground in San Francisco.
- You throw all your stuff through airport security, get frisked, and as you're picking your things back up again, you start wondering, "Where is the guy that comes by to pick up these empty bins? They're really backing up here on the conveyor belt." You look around and don't see anyone pushing the bin cart around, so after being awake for almost 24 hours already, you decide to just throw your bin on the floor on the other side of the conveyor belt. A crabby TSA employee stops the conveyor belt to snap at you, "We have a place for these bins, you know!" She picks it up and tosses it onto the cart at the end of the security line, right by the exit. Riiiight! No one comes by to pick up your security bin in the United States.
- The first thing you buy in America is a tube of Chapstick. America is a great country!
- You come to a stop while turning right, and you get distracted by how beautiful the stars are. You stay there in the intersection for a while, and no one drives up behind you. For that matter, no one drives by, or even walks by. It's just you and the stars.
- Your toddler walks up to you carrying a small pebble and asks you, "What's this?"
"A rock," you answer.
"Oh, a rock!" She's almost two.
