You know you’re turining into a local when…

1. All the restaurants know you like your food extra, extra spicey.

2. You start comparing sunsets day to day.

3. The gecko and frog in your bathroom go from being pests to pets.

4. The beach pet monkey begins to recognize your face (more on her later).

5. You find yourself buying an actual BAR of soap (instead of continuing to use the little shit bars they provide in the bungalows).

6. You don’t have to say ‘no watertmelon’ when you order fruit salad because everyone knows already.

7. You get the ‘teacher discount’ at the internet cafe. This one cracks me up the most actually …the other day I helped the guy at the internet place because he didn’t know how to open a file from his CD ROM. So I showed him how to go into Windows Explorer and click the D:/ drive. He was so grateful!! When I came in today he declared me The Teacher and said from now on I get the Special Teacher Discount after many many thank you’s. It was REALLY funny.
