You know you’ve been living in Peru for awhile when… (a humorous look at life)

1. You’re so used to stomach ailments that you and your other foreign friends have created a system by which to rate your bowl movements
2. You don’t notice if a song is in English or Spanish until ½ way through
3. Avoiding dog poop in the street has become a 6^th sense
4. You’ve come to think of seatbelts and stop signs as optional
5. You’re no longer horrified by the prospect of eating potatoes, rice, and bread in the same meal
6. You find yourself struggling to remember certain words in English
7. You’re so out of touch with the indie music scene that you’ve resigned and begun to listen to Lady GaGa
8. A phone call that lasts for more than a minute makes you feel slightly awkward
9. You get a little put out if the taxi driver tries to overcharge you by 15 cents
10. You think arriving 5 minutes late is early
