You Know You're In Jerusalem When:
*Your favorite snack becomes a pita with hummus
*When you want to show your thanks and you immediately say, "Shukran" (that's Arabic, BTW)
*When your kids are playing outside on a Saturday and you hear them say, "Be quiet, it's the Sabbath!"
*When the only toppings you'll find on your pizza are corn and olives
*When PORK truly is a 4-letter word
(I thought this one would be funny too)

You Know You've Been Living Overseas Too Long When:
*You want to pardon yourself, but you can't remember if you should say: SumeMasen, Sleecha, or Excuse Me (Japanese, Hebrew, and English)
*You can't remember which side of the road you should be driving on
*You have three different currencies in your purse
*For dinner you have Taco Rice with a Pita
