A Sign I've Been Living Here Too Long


Notice anything strange in the picture? No, not my weirdly hairy knuckles. There's something else. Look again...

What you should be noticing is that my pinky fingernail is the only fingernail that isn't trimmed. Last night I trimmed all of my fingernails and a few hours later noticed that I had forgotten my pinky nail. This is a very very Vietnamese thing to do. I've written on my blog twice in the past about how gross I find long fingernails on Vietnamese men. Well, apparently I'm turning into one. Granted my fingernail was still about a half inch shorter than the average Vietnamese guys, but the fact that I subconsciously didn't cut it means I've been living here too long.
