15 things about knowing that you are living long time in Bali when...

1. you ride your motobike to the next supermarket 20 meter away
2. you don't walk anymore....always use your motobike
3. you ride the motobike with 3 people, surfboards, food and bags
4. the beach vendors don't ask you to buy something anymore, they just sit next to you for a smalltalk (and they know your name)
5. you just eat in warung (indonesian small food places), rather than in a fancy western cafe
6. every meal which is more than 30.000 INR (2 Euros) is too expensive
7. you want to punch all westerns who try to change the Bali culture
8. you call all foreigners "bule" (of course, only with the nice meaning)
9. you exactly know where you can buy the cheapest Bintang (indonesian beer)
10. you spend the most time with your local friends and it feels like you always belonged to this group
11. the market ladies just charge you the local prices for watermelon
12. you wear the same shirt several times and you, and nobody else just don't give a shit about it
13. everybody smile to you and you smile back....the whole day
14. your skin has the same colour as the local people
15. you can't imagine ever leaving this country again
