When...
You're not surprised to see a goat in the passenger seat
You think everyone's first name is Al
You need a sweater when it's 80 degrees Fahrenheit
You expect everyone to own a mobile phone
Your idea of housework is leaving a list for the houseboy
You believe that speed limits are only advisory
You expect all police to drive BMWs or Merc's
You know whether you are within missile range of Iraq
You believe that the definition of a nanosecond is the time interval between the time the light turns green and the time that the guy behind you begins to blow his horn
You can't buy anything without asking for a discount
You have more carpets than floor space
You expect all stores to stay open till midnight
You make left turns from the far right lane
You expect gold for every birthday
You send friends a map instead of your address
You think it perfectly normal to have a picnic in the middle of a roundabout at 11pm
You know exactly how much alcohol allowance you have left for the month
You have a moon phase predictor on your computer
You never say Saturday instead of Thursday or Sunday instead of Friday
You accept that there is no point in asking why you are not allowed to do something
When you expect queues to be 1 person deep and 40 people wide,
When you realise that the black and white stripes in the road are not a zebra crossing, just bait to get tourists into the firing line,
When you know what night is ladies night at every bar in town,
When seeing guys welcome each other with a kiss no longer disgusts you,
When you carry 12 passport size photos around with you just in case,
When you can tell the time by listening to the local mosque,
When you think its a good night if there are fewer than 10 men for every woman in a bar,
When you start to say "Insha'allah" when you actually mean "No f** ***g chance!"
When you overtake a police car at 140 km/h
When a problem with your car AC or horn is more serious to you than a problem with the brakes
When you can smoke a shisha in public without expecting to be arrested
