What’s a small cultural habit you picked up without realizing it?

One of the funniest parts of living abroad is when you suddenly realize the country has changed you in tiny ways.

Maybe you greet people differently now.
Maybe you eat dinner later.
Maybe you’ve become more patient with paperwork.
Maybe you now think walking three blocks is “basically next door.”

What’s a habit, phrase, food routine, or daily-life behavior you picked up from another country?

Pointing with my lips. And sometime bowing at people when I leave or so say thank you.
