You know you're not in the US....
1. When 50% (or more) of the people around you are the same height as you (that is if you're 5 ft tall)! 2. When you have salad offered to you at the breakfast buffet at your hotel. 3. There's no one speaking English or Spanish for that matter. :o) 4. The toilet not only has a bidet but a dryer in the toilet, too. Eek. 5. They do not use ice in your drink unless you specifically ask for it. 6. You look for Diet Coke and find "Coke Light" which tastes nothing like Diet Coke. Yuck. 7. The hotel has slippers in "lockers" where you can trade the slippers for your shoes. 8. All of the tops of the high-rises are painted green to simulate grass since there is none in the city. 9. Those same roof-tops are littered with plastic wash basins. 10. You open IE, go to Google.com and can't read a thing because it's all in a foreign lanugage!
