You know you are in China when.....

• You hand your child a drinkable yogurt and his response is, "I really hope this isn' t Yak's milk"
• On your walk home from work your shoes start getting shined against your will. The shiner insists you pay him 100RMB. You are screaming no, stop ,in all the Mandarin you know but he negotiates you down to 5RMB. He takes your 5RMB but lets you know that the "Big Boss" pays 100. You walk away confused but with shiny shoes
• You know what the Big Boss means and it becomes your husbands new nickname whether he likes it or not
• You realize it' s much harder than you think to retrain yourself to put toilet paper in a trash can instead of the toilet. Go ahead, try it, test yourself
• It's 95 degrees out and very humid when you realize you and your family are the only ones sweating. Everyone else seems totally comfortable. Can you say "stinky, sweaty, Americans"
• You realize that food here goes bad much faster than at home, and it makes you wonder.....hmmmmmm
• You get really excited when the grass at the park is not roped off and you get to play on it! 
• You pay $8 for pasta sauce and $16 for a Louis Vitton purse
• You do your grocery shopping at a wet market stall called " The Avocado Lady"
• Before going out you check the weather and the air quality index
• You see cats all over here because they are considered good luck and dogs....well......
• You realize there are two prices for everything here. The foreigner ( Tai Tai or Laowai) and the local price. Trust me, you are not getting the better price.
• Seeing a man selling watermelons on the steps of Dolce and Gabanna looks totally normal
