10 Indications That I've Become a Londoner

10. I no longer see people on the streets, only obstacles to my destination.

9. I no longer expect/attempt eye-contact or small talk on the tube.

8. My walking speed is up to pace.

7. I have accepted that the bike lane is an actual lane and I cannot casually stroll in it with my iPod on.

6. I know that Zeh-bra crossings actually work. Cars will stop for me.

5. I no longer say things like "pants" or "sweatpants" in public.

4. I no longer arrive an hour early for a train at King's Cross Station like it's an airport. I can speed walk to where I need to be anyways.

3. I expect administrative inefficiency and customer service exceeds my lowered expectations.

2. When in doubt, I wear more layers than I think I need.

1. When people say "You ok?" or "You alright?" I neither get offended nor pour my heart out about what's been troubling me. And I sometimes replace "Peace out, yo." with "Cheerio!"
