You know that you are getting used to things if:

If your idea of vehicle air bag safety is having your lady sit on the front of your motorbike.

....if your food tastes better when you eat on the floor sitting on newspapers

...if you consider owning a buffalo as a good investment

...if you don't use toilet paper

...if the one and ONLY bottle of medicine you have at home cures every single illness known to man.

...if your whole family sits on the floor eating your meal--when visiting a KFC or MacDonald's in Jakarta.

...if you use two 100-Rupiah coins as tweezers.

...if you can't sleep because that chicken in the next room just won't shut up.

...if your idea of lawn ornaments are the empty black plastic bags blown off the roads.

...if you haven't done the dishes in hot water for the last five years.

...if you can eat any dish consisting of 50% Chilli Paste (Sambal) without heart failure.

...if your idea of a traffic jam is two motorbikes waiting for the buffalo to finish his business in the middle of the dirt road.

...if your only morning alarm clock is the regular 4:30am mosquito attack.

...if you prefer the "Burning Garbage" aroma as your choice of spray can air freshener.

...if the back end and the front end of your pickup truck are held together by scrap wood.

...if your idea of "dining out" is moving from the inside floor to a grass mat outside the front door.
