Spending too much time in an internet cafe

You know you're a student studying abroad when...
...you spend more money on communication than you do on food everyday.
...you've sampled all of the local beers, but still flock to the spaghetti or salad options on restaurant menus.
...you've realized that you're far from immortal, and something as simple as water can put you out of commission for a week.
...you've figured out that cliff bars are more valuable than currency.
...you've learned all of the curse words in the local language, but not the necessities like "Where is the bathroom?"
...your concept of hygiene and personal space has been blown to pieces.
...you've learned that, why yes, a hole in the ground can qualify as a toilet.
...you say to yourself "I will never again complain about bathrooms in the United States."
...you're angry when you see that you actually have assignments and school work to complete here. Sorry, what?
...you've mastered the art of "haggling," or at least you thought you did until the guy after you gets the same thing for half the price you paid.
