Top Ten Reasons I know I've Been Traveling for a While

Top Ten Reasons I know I've been traveling for a while:

10. Before going to brush my teeth, I instinctively look for a bottle of water. (Man, I miss tap water.)

9. Beeping now has new meaning to me. It is not rude - it's a safety precaution. If you are on a motor bike, and people don't beep - it's very hard to hear that someone is trying to pass you! Beep for safety's sake!

8. I am lost without a bottle of Purell on me at all times. More so than chapstick!

7. I'm used to not having a clue what anyone around me is saying.

6. $4 sounds like a A LOT to pay for a beer.

5. I crave noodle soups for breakfast.

4. I drink my tea sans milk.

3. List of things to buy when I get home: 1.) rice cooker 2.) Electric water boiler.

2. Also: 3.) a motorcycle or scooter.

1. I kinda sorta want a Vietnamese baby. (Seriously, though, these kids are so cute. Can I have one?)
