Zambian funerals (possibly African funerals in general, idk, I speak to the country I lived in. When someone died, we would go to the home of the family of the deceased. All the chairs and furniture are set up outside around a fire. Giant vats of food would be made, and everyone would eat, cry, laugh, reminisce - for like 3 days. And they wail. They release their grief. It scared me the first time I heard it, it was such a chilling sound. I was young so I didn't know the pain of loss like that, but I get it now. It's theraputic and surrounded by the community there is safety to be vunerable. I hate American funerals, all suppressed and formal. (Side note: would love the communial gathering without the ugly sexism. Only men sit around the fire. Women and girls do the cooking, and serve the men on their knees. Also so super rapey cultural traditions involved sometimes. Didn't want to act like those are ok.)

I absolutely love the siestas in Spain. It's in the heat of the day, everything closes, you get a nice break in the middle of the day, then go back refreshed. It's wonderful.

I'm not sure if this counts but better bathroom stalls. The bathroom stalls in the US are unbelievably uncomfortable because of the openings between the bottom part of the stalls, and I keep on hearing they're way better in most other countries
Not wearing shoes in the house. I already do that at my own house (safe for winter when I wear slippers) and even at other people's house if there's trust but I'd love it to be more widespread. Also those low Japanese beds? Don't remember the name, those that are basically mats piled together, I'd love that. In case you didn't realize I just love being close to the floor
German here. I'm always amazed by how efficient the chinese railway system is in comparison to ours
Respect for good work in school (in places like Japan). Maybe not to the extend you see it there, but it would be nice if people didn't bully others for being smart
Habitually wearing masks if they have a cold or something. Then this covid thing wouldn't be as big of a deal.
I wish domestic policy took into account environmental issues the way northern Europeans do.
Being more respectful in general
