You know you're back in China when...

You know you're back in China when...
- regularly seeing people outside wearing face masks doesn't surprise you.
- seeing someone pick up a piece of trash and throw it away does surprise you.
- the number of bikes on the street equals the number of cars on the street.
- while biking, you are un-fazed by cars driving within six inches of you.
- $15 for a fake bag is considered expensive.
- the standard person walking down the street stares at you.
- constant congestion is considered normal and even expected.
- some trucks are the same size as a regular American 4-door sedan.
- adults often play at the local playground.
- fireworks can be heard at random hours, either at night or during the day.
- cooking at home can be more expensive than eating out at a restaurant (depending on where you go.)
- you can get a delicious bowl of noodles for about $0.60.
