You know you live in a foreign country when...

You know you live in a foreign country when...

~ when you hear your wife shout out "Woohooooo! Green beans!!" (there has been a shortage)

~ when you see your wife kissing the can of green beans, you understand

~ when taking the trash out means setting it on fire since there is no garbage truck coming...ever.

~ entertainment for the night involves counting bug bites

~ the price of a bag of chips means you really can eat only 1 Lay's potato chip!

~ you're not surprised when dinner comes wrapped in a banana leaf...

~ you get excited when dinner comes wrapped in a banana leaf !!


You know you live in a foreign country when...

~ a trip to town means
doing all the shopping for the week,
stopping at the post office,
getting gas in the truck,
saying hello to all the people you see in town
taking time out for lunch (maybe in a banana leaf!)
checking the bank to see if your paycheck arrived yet
changing a flat tire
getting a flat tire fixed immediately (never know when you will need it again!)
double checking everything because you're NOT coming back if you forgot anything!

You know you live in a foreign country when...
~ shopping in an ethnic store is your ONLY choice!

~ you look up at the stars and cannot find the ones you know

~ Facebook is your best friend

~ a phone call from the states is a BIG deal !

~ a visit from friends in the U.S. is a BIG deal !!

~ a visit to go SEE friends in the U.S. is an even bigger deal !!!

~ U.S headlines aren't that big a deal...

~ you drive by a forest fire with flames taller than your truck - and it's no big deal...

~ box office release dates mean nothing...

~ price roll backs mean the expiration date is very near

~ you don't have to go to the zoo to see monkeys, or crocodiles, or armadillos, or polecats

~ many of your friends have names that are hard to pronounce, let alone spell


You know you live in a foreign country when...

~ you already knew all the stuff on this list !

~ and you feel blessed to live where you do !!


We sure do!!!!!
