You know you've lived in Honduras for seven months when...

You know you've lived in Honduras for seven months when:
  • The dogs barking, roosters crowing and cows mooing at night no longer disturb your sleep but instead provide a comforting lulling
  • You switch back and forth between Spanish and English to send text messages on your cell phone
  • Traffic stopping for cows crossing the street is not an odd sight
  • You are surprised when you see a gringo that you don't know
  • When you open your window firmly and a gecko falls from it to the ground you chuckle thinking this just comes with the territory
  • Listening for mice traps to snap is considered a past-time
  • You don't know what to say when you meet a store owner who speaks English
  • You say "What do you think I am a stupid foreigner?" when a taxi driver tries to rip you off
  • You say the above sentence in Spanish
  • You talk to your friend about jaunting off to Belize for the weekend
  • A cowboy is a normal sight
