When you can't wait to get home, change clothes, rush out and drive aimlessly up and down, back forth, traffic jam to traffic jam for hours on end...every single day and twice on weekends.

When you consider finding a USA Today News paper a treat. 
When you know what the phrase ... same same but different means, and hear it 5 times a day if you leave your living quarters.
When the flight attendant asks you if you want a date
....its not a "date" Ya'll know what I mean.

Ha ha good stuff rivera and sal-e,
- When you need to drive to cold store which is 100m away from your house.
- when you stop differentiating between morning fog and dust storm.
- when you feel embarrased for not having a mistress or a girl friend beside having a wife.
- when you feel the need to build an extra room in your three bed room house.
- when your friends and neighbours start calling you "stingy Ba*ta*d" for washing your car and watering your plants.
- when you start enjoying GULF NEWS as a news paper not as a real estate MAG.
- when you feel being an old man for going to bed early at 11pm.
- when afternoon nap becomes a daily routine.

-When your wife being called mama by people in local markets doesn't irritate you.
-When your piss*d off coz the Pepsi guy didn't show up to get your weekly supply of fizzy.
-When anything you dream of is available for home delivery.

-When you think that paying for an original DVD or Play Station game is something of the past.
-When "mobiles" having 2 different prices for warranty or no warranty BABA, then 2 other different prices for cash or credit doesn’t make you wince.
-When you're not expecting to pay for plastic shopping bags at groceries once your back home.
- When you start missing the smell of shisha.

when you feel claustrophobic in a cinema when there's five other viewers.
when you rattle out 'alekum asalaam' like a native replying to jeddah radar's first contact..
when 30C is a cold snap.
when you've grown a full goatie and don't feel like a redneck.
when a clean shave makes you feel ridiculously naked.
when a three day growth goes with suit and tie.
when crossing the road feels like a game of frogger.
when flying to peshawar doesn't feel dangerous at all.
when something's amiss if a day goes by without some sort of bomb attack somewhere close.
when the sheik/king/sultan becomes 'our' sheik/king/sultan in conversations.
when you can sleep in a cab with an indian driving.
when the american/english accent sounds foreign.
when you think arabic sandals are in and timberlands are out.
when you think you're going to die because you forget to replace your empty perfume bottle.
when anti-ice comes on at the teeniest hint of cloud.
when you realise that all women are good for is s...x
when you think part of the maids job description is to flirt with you.
when you start despising plants.
when your friends and family back home think you're a millionaire.
