You know you've been in Spain for a long time (not too long since you can never be in Spain too long) when:
1) You can no longer write in English since trying to spell it out phonetically doesn't work at all.
2) You read a bilingual Spanish/English sign and wonder briefly why the exact same thing is written twice.
3) While getting a coffee in the afternoon at a cafe, you see people eating dinner and wonder why they're eating so early. Then you realize it's 6:30 and they're tourists.
4) When getting ready to go out at night, you pack a wad of toilet paper since there is NEVER EVER any in the stalls at bars.
5) You start to appreciate the jamón on your pizza.
6) You know enough Spanish to argue politics.
7) You know a puente is more than just a bridge, but not quite as nice as an acueducto.
8) While watching the news on TV, you can hear accents from different parts of Spain. Stop dropping your S's Andalucians!
Do I really have to leave soon?
