You know you have been in rural Southeast Asia too long when...

1. You instinctively hesitate, just for that split second, before throwing the piece of toilet paper into the toilet. Should i or should i not? A lesson learnt from overflow(n) toilets in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, where the pipes don't digest toilet paper too well and choke on it. The result, a wet floor which further (desperate) flushing in the hope of clearing the system only aggravates.

2. A patch of overgrown grass and you think to yourself "Achtung minen". And then smile stupidly (ah those fond memories) to yourself while other people stare at you as you try to take the safe way across by skirting the overgrown clumps and stepping on the worn bits, walking in zig zags with a silly self indulgent smile on your face.
