JeffreyB24 it is correct to say i walked as if I were quai chang, or as if I was Quai???? I would use 'were', but you'll find that after "as if" just about any tense can be used, so 'was' is also possible. CJ

I'm not sure what 'quai chang' is, but I would use "were." This is subjunctive mood, sometimes also considered the "unreal tense," which is often used after statements of "if" or "wish."
