For example, I’m a white Jewish guy but I’ve adopted the Japanese practice of keeping dedicated house slippers at the front door.

    Oh so true! Before I visited Japan for the first time I thought having shit left on my ass is just a normal thing. But later I also visited Morocco and they have a bucket of water on the toilet so you can wash yourself. It seems it’s only in Europe/America where people don’t wash themselves after pooping.

      There are bidets in many countries in Europe too. In Spain, most houses have them, and I’m pretty sure it’s the same thing in France and Italy.

      They have been disappearing in France, sadly, because people couldn’t afford the space…
      I’m adding integrated bidets to all our toilets in our oncoming renovation though.

        I like the integrated ones much more anyway. I got one for our second toilet from my fiance for my birthday, she’s a keeper :D
