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 got a bidet recently, and it's been a life changer. I guess they are becoming more popular now in America, but nobody had one growing up.

which one did you get? which features are essential? what to avoid?

I bought the Tushy. It's nothing crazy fancy, but works amazingly. It's one piece that you install between the water line and the tank of the toilet. Very quick install. For new users, I'd suggest keeping the water pressure low (the little knob you turn to activate it) that way you're not getting water up your butt when you're not expecting it. It's a weird sensation at first, but you quickly get used to it. Now I swear by having a bidet.

Weird as in I'm going to come from Poseidon tickling my butthole? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
