What do you do that is traditional somewhere other than the US?

As I sit here drinking my tea with nana (mint) and eating veggies for breakfast, I am struck by how this is such an Israeli tradition, and not American.

When I eat or drink while walking or taking the train, I always think of how vulgar this behavior is in Europe. If you are hungry or thirsty, you sit in a cafe and eat or drink something. The concept of "to go" is unheard of (except for gelato).

So what things do you do- food, beauty, fashion, etc..., that are the tradition of another country/culture?
