My dad was stationed in Japan after the war, and he enjoyed the Japanese culture. He brought home bits of it. I thought "zori" was an English word for many years. I still prefer it over flip-flops. He'd import culture from other places he was stationed. He adopted the German custom of an after-lunch nap, which I still do.
