You know you've been in Geneva too long when...

• You notice how dirty French cars are;
• You live alone in a studio and have a cleaning lady;
• You don't think it unusual that you have never met a Swiss who does hard manual labour like road-digging;
• You don't question why it takes 12-18 months and costs more than a million francs to build a modest residential house;
• You think Swiss advertising is dynamic, clever and subtle.
• You think it's economically wasteful to have more than one brand of a product in a store;
• You try to defend cartel based economics to a visitor;
• You think it's fair that you can only wash clothes once a month;
• You wonder why anyone would want to shop outside of working hours;
• You understand why Chinese food should cost more than normal food;
• You think it's OK for a Chinese restaurant to be run by a Swiss and staffed by Spaniards and Portuguese;
• You think Thursday night shopping is really convenient;
• You think it's cool to drink expensive imported American beers;
• You prefer fizzy mineral water to tap water;
• You don't mind paying SFr.20 for a paperback book;
• You become interested in the myriad of insurance offerings.
