how to tell you've been away from the states too long

  1. you look to the right before stepping out into the street, and are almost hit by a car approaching from the left
  2. you say 'sorry' instead of 'excuse me' when you need someone to move aside so you can get by
  3. the money seems a little strange to you; like, it's okay that it's all the same color, but you find it frustrating that it's all the same size
  4. you find a medium-sized moderately upmarket grocery store (dcfolk and those further south, think harris teeter) totally bewildering in terms of size and selection
i'm thinking of it this way:  just imagine how happy i'll be (for, you know, the first week or so) when i'm back to stay.  :-D
