10 Ways You Know You're Becoming Lebanese

1.  You drink soda out of a can with a straw.
2.  You ate lunch at 3 and dinner at 11.
3.  You say things like "April one" and "June fifteen."  You don't realize that you're not using ordinal numbers until someone points it out.
4.  You start asking people how they found something, and you don't mean how they physically found it.  I.e.   "How did you find the film/restaurtant/waterfall/Lebanon?"
5.  The answers for  "How did you find your meal?" (see #4) are "very nice" or "not very nice" and the answers for "How did you find the movie?" are "It was good/not good/beautiful."
6.  You say you'll 'pass by' later, and you really mean that you'll stop in later.
7.  Heeeeeeeeyyyy!!!   U staaaart using all of the emoticons u caaaaan muster!!!
8.  You "missed call" someone, which means that you call and let it ring once and then hang up.  This could mean a variety of things depending on the situation...
9.  You now find French, along with the more obvious Arabic, popping up in your daily speech.  "Merci."  "Bonjour!"
10.  You demonstrate the true meaning of hospitality every time you invite someone in to your beautiful homes.  Thanks for all you've done to welcome me friends!
