-You have successfully leapt through the bureaucratic hoops to attain a two-by-three inch little booklet certifying your residency
-You attained said booklet in a building loudly proclaiming, "Ne Mutlu Türküm Diyene" ("Happy is he who calls himself a Turk") despite that few people leaving the building after the miserable process are neither a) Turkish nor b) too happy
-You've been mistaken as a local and people ask you for directions in Turkish
-Someone tells you your Turkish is between beginning and pre-intermediate
-You've become nervous when you enter a room without a picture of Atatürk watching over you
-You get angry whenever you see tourists, especially American, invading "your" country
