How to tip correctly abroad?(ru he zai guo wai zheng que fu xiao fei )

Tipping originated from London in the 18th century, when diners had to pay extra for better service, but now it has become a kind of thanks to the service staff. Nowadays, in foreign countries, you should pay a certain amount of tips to your bellman, local guide, driver, waiter calling for your car at the door of hotel and restaurant, room cleaner, etc.

Although tipping is a personal behavior, it has also become a conventional habit. When traveling abroad, it's better to follow the customs in order to avoid making jokes. The payment of tips should be appropriate, too much or too little will be considered impolite. Tips are calculated in the following ways:

(1) According to the consumption amount: usually the tip amount is 10% - 15% of the bill amount. Generally speaking, you can tip according to this principle when you eat in a restaurant. Generally, you don't need to tip when eating in a cafeteria, but you can tip according to the number of people who pour tea and ask for it.

(2) According to the number of pieces: for example, for hotel attendants carrying luggage, they can tip US $1 or about 30p per piece of luggage. When you have too much luggage, you may as well give them more in return for their service.

(3) According to the number of times of service: for example, room attendants can tip about $2 a day. If you are not sure whether the service charge is included in the bill, you can ask clearly before deciding whether to pay or not.

It is worth noting that there is no tradition of tipping in countries such as Japan, Australia, South Korea and Singapore. Therefore, if you don't know when to tip, you should know the local customs or ask the local people before going abroad, so as to prepare in advance.
