What habits or practies have you adopted from cultures besides your own?

    This seems unnecessarily pedantic given the harmlessness of cross-cultural pollination but I'll take the question in good faith.

    Obviously all cultural practices are necessarily adopted from individuals, groups, and other cultures. What I mean is that some cultures have practices that differ from the ones that are commonplace in the ones you may have grown up in or currently live within. I'm asking about those practices, the ones that aren't necessarily homegrown or common in your own life.
