Andrew (USA): "This is one of the more recent t-shirts that was created by an ohio chapter (I believe the Columbus steering committee). On the back is the lovely 'you know you're a CISVer if...', written by Sarah (USA)" Any other ways you know you're a CISVer?

You get up at 7:00 in the morning every day after camp to check your e-mails.
you spend hours looking at websites promoting peace through cross cultural experiences, intense emotional experiences, and collectable t-shits ;)
You can sing from memory just above every song from the 60´s.
-You can swear in at least five different languages.
-You stop after explaining something, and wait for translations.
- Your friends stop calling you to go out because they assume you have "some CISV thing"
- You can save up on hotels wherever you travel
- No matter where you are or how long it's been you still feel nostalgic when you hear a beatles song
When boarding a plane feel the need to sing "leaving on a jet plane"
Can say good morning and goodnight in too many languages
you are looking for groups of four kids plus one adult every time you enter an airport
you are unexpectedly shouting " C I .." in the airport terminal, awaiting a ".. S V" in return
You're fed up with hearing "What on earth is CISV?!?"
All your clothes have your name and country on permanent ink.
Whenever you say, "That reminds me of that one time in Village when............' Your friends roll their eyes and complain that they have heard the story 67 times before.
Your screensaver is pictures of your most recent CISV International experience.
You cry when they play the song at your graduation because it was the last song you sang a Village.
You freak out at four in the morning when you find someone who was at a village that you were at years ago accidentally....and no one in the room gets it!
You are ALWAYS planning reunions that will probably not happen.
You automatically say Kitos in your head after every meal.
You parents ask what the huge phone bill from Lebanon is about...
You feel completely normal jumping up and down and screaming funny songs just to energize yourself.
Sitting or standing in a circle means the WORLD to you!
You wear CISV branded clothes everytime you travel just incase you run into another CISVier in the airport.
