Am I becoming Chinese?

After one month in Beijing I observe some changes in my personality. I wonder if these ten points indicate that I’m turning into a Chinese?

• I start spitting on the floor.
• I’m faster queuing up for the subway than some of the locals.
• I prefer squat to Western style toilets. (Okay, this only counts half as I already did that in India)
• I sing along to the music from my iPod while walking on the street.
• I pick up the phone with «wei».
• I wear yellow kitty earlaps over my hat.
• I’m no longer puzzled when somebody passes me walking backwards.
• I like to drink plain water hot.
• I do line dance with a group of 60 years old Chinese ladies at a crossroad of my neighborhood at 8.30 in the morning when temperature is as low as 0°C (32°F).
• Instead of one cup of milk I drink two glasses of baijiu before going to bed.
