You Know You're Not In Kansas Anymore When:

By: Jennifer Whitaker

You Know You’re Not In Kansas Anymore When:· You sit across from a monk on the subway.· Every child you pass says "Hello!".· You realize that if your neighbor yelled "Fire!" you wouldn't know what he or she was saying.· You play charades everyday: to get coffee, to get trash bags, to get dinner, to get shampoo....· You would rather walk two miles than get a taxi. (They have only been driving since the early eighties.)· You reluctantly get a taxi late at night and the only English the driver speaks is "U-turn" and he drives 100mph all the way home.· You are the victim of a hit and run by a moped, on the sidewalk.· Everyone within a square mile of your house knows who you are and where you live.· You get your phone bill.· You have a rice cooker instead of a microwave.
