You know youre from Hong Kong when...

  • The amount of mosquito bites on you is higher than your shoe size—the European one.
  • You have more than 20 cousins—or so they call themselves.
  • When you talk on the phone, hundreds of people can hear you. Always.
  • 1 AM is too early to sleep.
  • 1 PM is too early to wake up.
  • Your favorite drink is VITA-soy, or some other "healthy" soy drink with about 50 grams of added sugar.
  • Youve eaten about 400 trucks full of noodles (though you still, miraculously, are thin as a noodle yourself).
  • You DON'T know Kung Fu. But you probably tell people you do.
  • You wish you knew Mandarin.
  • You pretend to know Mandarin.
  • You don't know what a bus is, but you know what a bah-see is.
  • The nearest you get to nature is the group of cockroaches that live in your kitchen.

Have you ever been to Hong Kong?
