*On a regular basis the text on my computer comes up and everything is in Chinese characters and I have to find the "English" button so I can read my screen again.
*People wearing surgical masks. Because of the SARS outbreak a few years back and now with the Swine Flu scare, people are extremely cautious of sanitzing everything! There are always workers cleaning handrails and elevator buttons. Tons of people just wear surgical masks around town.
*Stray cats and dogs everywhere. A local student here told me that there are over 200 cats on campus!
*Getting used to the fact that I never really knowing where I am or where I'm going.
*The fact that when I pay $100HK for something, it's really only $20USD.
*Feeling completely comfortable with literally 100's of people surrounding me all the time...on the train, the bus, the streets...everywhere!
*Looking up and seeing 100's of high-rise buildings and apartments.
I'm sure there is so much more...but like I said, strange things are becoming strangely normal.
