You know you're in Australia by the angelic Choir and the fact that you've grown wings.

Ok, you know you're in Sydney when you can go to a restraunt and order food in just your swimmers and thongs, and they don't bat an eyelid.

You know you're in Sydney when you can tell the date by what decorations are on the bridge.

You know you're in Australia when a high profile Shakespearean theatre company announces their plans to produce the Andy Griffiths (Writer of The Day my Bum went Psycho) written version of Macbeth and nobody bats an eyelid (I swear, its called Just Macbeth)

You know you're in Singapore because get to laugh at people saying "You are under arrest la. You understand la? You are in over-much trouble la."

I have a Singaporean friend who occasionally does that, though it's a voluntary action.

Anyways, you know you're in Australia when the video games have less content (even censored), but you still end up paying double.

You know you're in India when you see a shanty town right next to a middle class suburb.

Edit:

You know you're in in India when...
... a person is riding a cow-drawn wagon in the middle of a highway.
... you find out that the toilets are nothing more than holes in the ground.
... every movie you see is a musical.
... every DVD is a pirated copy (even the ones you buy from high-end stores).

Just so you know,I live in the U.S., but visit my family in India every summer.

Yep, I've seen these ones first hand.

One I'd like to add: You know you're in India when a street vendor (for food) can be found right next to a fancy restaurant.

You know you're in the Soviet Union when everyone unanimously agrees you are capitalist scum.

You know, Soviet Russia was a lot like St. Patrick's Day, except instead of one day, it was all the time, and instead of wearing green, it was being submissive and loving the government, and instead of being pinched, it was being executed in the night.
