What habits or practies have you adopted from cultures besides your own?
For example, I'm a white Jewish guy but I've adopted the Japanese practice of keeping dedicated house slippers at the front door.

I set all my digital clocks to 24hr mode, something I picked up after living in Europe. Would never go back.
Likewise. I just found it much easier when trying to schedule my day. Not having to account for the switch from 12-1 makes the math simpler.
One of us! Now shift to metric!
I actually use some metric when measuring around the house for projects, especially for anything shorter than an inch. I can't be bothered to figure out 1/16 of an inch...it's easier in mm.
