You're watching the Wimbelton men's finals on local cable TV, and halfway through the fourth set, with the players evenly matched, mid game, the station cuts to a local soccer match - in Arabic.
And you're not even remotely surprised.
(A female friend who is an avid tennis fan rang the channel once when this happened and gave them a right royal earful - which from this particular lady, is something to behold... and believe it or not, they went back to show the rest of the tennis. I kid you not.)

When you know how to get in a ministry, do all the paperwork and get out in less than an hour, and you knew what each paper was for, and how many stamps and from who were needed, and you know the way to talk to the man in uniform or the man in the office ready answer what your football team is and so skip a very long queue.
When your driving scan becomes 90% to the rear of your car, and only 10% forward.
When you cross the oceanic to India and don't care that you haven't been able to contact Mumbai HF, or even stop trying anymore.

When you can communicate with an Indian using hand and head gestures without a word being spoken.
When you know to check under your bags for the detector strip before leaving the baggage collection area at the airport.
To anticipate the Ninja's moves both on the road and in the mall's.
Understanding that "recycling" means "land-fill".
knowing that Solar anything is forbidden.

found you at last my lost friend
the thread that is:
what is that detector strip, under your bags.
not surprised when a local is driving his car, fastish, with toddler asleep on his shoulder, and no seat belt... wife is in back reading magazine.
the surprise is that he is not actually on his mobile.....

I might be wrong but the detector strip is one of the gadgets custom boys use in UAE to catch you off guard so when you go trough those little gates (similar to the one you see in shops) and you have one or more on your luggage the light is going to go on... 
Just go to the toilet before leaving the baggage area and remove them, hehe but be sure you check everywhere because they might be hidden well under your bags handle
