You know you've been in Japan too long when......
1) you think anything below a 7.0 earthquake is not a big deal
2) Your Japanese-schooled child wants to read her english books from right to left, back to front
3) the same child claims favorite foods are seaweed and squid (cooked or raw) -- but won't touch macaroni and cheese (and asks for green tea instead of apple juice)
4) You pay more attention to your socks and slippers than your shoes because they will get seen more often then not.
5) You start bowing while in the car to other drivers ....and to other Americans!
6) You sit on the floor in "mother's pose" automatically, and without pain (sitting on the floor with knees bent, legs tucked under you with feet underneath your butt)
7) You think spending $8 on a beer is cheap
8) You go back to the states and keep driving on the left side of the road
9) You automatically take off your shoes when you walk inside pretty much everywhere you go.
10) Your daughter asks to wear "her kimono" instead of her school uniform some days.
