Bem, ao passear pelo meu blog, apercebi-me que ja nao escrevo com tanta frequencia.. e penso.. mas que raio?? Na verdade, não ando com vontade.. deve ser isso... ou não... hum.. o que se passará...
DEUS!! já acho tudo normal!!! É isso! não tenho nada para contar pois as coisas agora para mim são banais...
Aproveito um mail então que me mandaram para escrever qualquer coisa. Neste mail tem uma lista de 80 (penso eu de que) coisas e tem como titulo You Know you've Lived in China Too Long When... e muitos dos meus amigos já o aproveitaram para os seus blogs... mas eu entretanto só aproveito os pontos que eu própria já me reconheco... então aí vai.. prontos para já não me reconhecerem?
- You're at an expensive western restaurant and don't even notice the guy at the next table yelling into his cell phone
- You think that the heavy air actually contains valuable nutrients that you need to stay healthy
- A sexual pervert is a man who prefers women to money.
- You aren't aware that one is supposed to pay for software
- You think that a $7 shirt is a rip-off
- You always leave tray and trash on the table when you are in Starbucks because you insisted it is the way to keep everyone employed
- You feel cheated if you don't receive a full head and shoulder massage when getting a haircut
- You no longer wait in line, but go immediately to the head of the queue
- It becomes exciting to see if you can get on the lift before anyone can get off
- You no longer wonder how someone who earns US$ 400.00 per month can drive a Mercedes
- You regard it as part of the adventure when the waiter correctly repeats your order and the cook makes something completely different.
- You are not surprised when three men with a ladder show up to change a light bulb
- You have absolutely no sense of traffic rules
- You start calling other foreigners Lao Wai
- When you are able to jump the queue because the idiot laowai left 2 centimeters between themself and the person in front of them
- When looking out the window, you think "Wow, so many trees!" instead of "Wow, so much concrete!"
- Pollution, what pollution?
- Someone doesn't stare at you and you wonder why
- Firecrackers don't wake you up
- Your collection of business cards has outgrown your flat
- You and a friend get on a bus, sit at opposite ends of the bus, and continue your conversation by yelling from one end to the other
- You cannot say a number without making the appropriate hand sign
- You feel insulted when you enter a restaurant and only three waiters welcome you
HUM... ok.. 21 pontos onde me enquadro em 80... not bad.. mas sei k haverá coisas que nunca me enquadrarei, e por isso só vou dar um petit exemple de 5 pontos que a minha religião nunquinha irá permitir:
- You think a 30 year old woman who carries a Hello Kitty lunch box is cute
- You enjoy karaoke
- You blow your nose or spit on the restaurant floor (of course after making a loud hocking noise)
- You have developed an uncontrollable urge to follow people carrying small flags
- You burp in any situation and don't care
E pronto, aqui está... agora tenho de me ir embora rápido, porque os saldos já comecaram e eu sinto uma enorme vontade de ir comprar umas coisitas da coleccão fofinha da Hello K...arggghhh.. da Dolce&Gabanna!!!
