You Know you've been in Indonesia too long when ...

(Although not my list, all points apply)

1. The footprints on the toilet seat are your own.
2. You no longer wait in line, but immediately go to the head of the queue.
3. You are accustomed to your underwear, socks, sheets and towels being ironed.
4. You find it saves time to stand and retrieve your cabin luggage while the plane is still on final approach.
5. You think the Avanza and Kijang are stylish and well built cars.
6. You answer the telephone with "hello" more than 2 times.
7. You are quite content to repeat your order 6 times at a restaurant that only has 4 items on the menu.
8. You're not surprised when 3 men with a ladder show up to change your light bulb
9. You wear the same pair of underwear everyday because your maid does the laundry daily.
10. You are no longer startled when you see a 12-year old driving a motorbike while smoking.
