You know you've been abroad too long when...

- You start referring to the French as "us" and Americans as "they"

- You have to translate dollars into Euros

- You allow extra time at the grocery store or bank because you know there will be a wait

- The bus is five minutes late, and you think, "oh, they must be on strike"

- You realize that you can indeed live without a car

- You hear complaints that it might be 15 degrees on Inauguration Day, and you think, "that's practically summer!"...until you realize it's NOT 15 degrees Celcius

- People stop asking where you are from in England

- You have more frequent member cards in Europe than in the States

- You check Le Monde before you check the New York Times

- You realize that you cannot go without eating 3- or 4-course meals

- You cry at the thought of the sad cheese aisle in American grocery markets

- You refuse to call yourself "American," but rather Etats-unisien(ne) (from the US)

- You forget that you're abroad, and are just having fun living your life!
