You know you've been to INSEAD when...

... the following seems 'normal':
 

Highway in Pangkil

• Spending the weekend on a private island
• Going to the restaurant with 45 close friends
• Heading out for drinks at 1am
• Ordering 6 litre Belvedere bottles
• Bain makes you think of pool parties
• The Dash isn't a punctuation mark
• Heritage doesn't make you think of tradition or culture
• Dover doesn't make you think of the White Cliffs



Home or Chateau. You choose.

• You cannot say “can” without adding “la”
• Everything “Makes Sens”
• You cannot pronounce “leverage” without grinning stupidly and/or raising your eyebrows (try this at home)
• A “lifer” doesn't refer to jail term
• Home and chateau sometimes feel synonymous
• You think of countries through national weeks
• You have the same ugly t-shirt in approximately 18 different colours
• You own a pair of Ray-Bans (Thai replicas preferable)



A quiet weekend in Seville

• You “like” many things and have doubled your “friend” count in 10 months
• Performing in a cabaret seems like a loooong time ago
• You are physically incapable of sitting still when hearing certain songs 
• The club certainly can’t handle you right now
• Hearing the Waka Waka makes you think of a flash dance (what World Cup?)
• You check out the driver of any car with a red number plate
• You book flights the day before flying 
• You have owned and lost more flip flops, sunglasses and phones in one year than the rest of your life put together 

  

  A future in politics? Impossible.

  
• You've accumulated random small change from an assortment of exotic foreign countries
• You already have multiple travel plans for 2012 and beyond, and you have a travel toiletry bag permanently on ‘standby’
• Your parents never know for sure which you’re country you’re spending your weekend in
• Your hard drive has no space due to multiple photos and videos
• You will never be able to pursue a career in politics
• You have endless “to do” lists
• One week feels like one month
• You’re still asking yourself whether the bubble will ever burst...

What else peeps, what have I forgotten?! :-)
