Fish heads and Fish eyeballs

You know you've been in Thailand awhile when: You are always served fish with the head on and your friend asks for the eyeball. Your son isn't sure how to shake hands. Snakes, centipedes, scorpions, giant spiders & leeches are part of your everyday life. Your kids haven't had Kraft Mac-N-Cheese for 2 years. You spray mosquito repellent on every evening at dusk, and stay inside the house. Toads live in your shoes and in your kitchen. Walls are covered in geckos, flat surfaces are covered with gecko poop. You pick up a tiny branch in your bathroom and it turns into a bug. Everything is covered with a weird greasy grime. Shoes disintegrate within a year or so. Everyone is smiling at a funeral, including you.
