Tipping customs differ from country to country. You need to know how to tip in the country that you're in when you travel; or you'll leave servers annoyed everywhere you go. Here are just a few guidelines to tipping in different countries.


Dubai

In Dubai it's a rule for restaurants to charge 10% tip on all restaurant and bar bills You can add a couple of dirhams (迪拉姆,货币单位)to this if you feel like it. Waiters are not paid very much in Dubai, so it is always very appreciated.


Brazil

There will always be a standard 10% service charge added to your bill, and you won't necessarily have to tip. If you do feel like being generous, an extra 5-10% will really make your server very happy. Just remember to do this as skillfully as possible - Brazilians don't make a big show of this.


Czech Republic

While locals in the Czech Republic don't leave tips, that doesn't mean you're off the hook. Foreign tourists are definitely expected to leave some kind of tip for service - as long as you're in a high tourist traffic area, like Prague for instance. The standard tip is 10%.


India

Here it is often considered appropriate for a tourist to tip your server 5-10%. You have to adjust that number by yourself though. This is how the rules go in this country. If the bill is for a small meal and totals less than 300 rupees,tip the full 10%.If the bill is higher, tip towards the 5%.

Last week,we talked about the conflict(冲突)between sleepy teenagers and early morning classes.Many people commented on our website.

For example,Damla Ece in Turkey wrote:I agree with the idea of starting lessons later so teenagers can feel better in the morning.But sleeping more than seven hours can be wasting time for students.

Tran in Vietnam disagreed:I think teenagers,on average,need eight to ten hours of sleep every day.It's useless to try to force them to concentrate while they can't concentrate.

Afshin Heydari from Iran wrote:Schools should start early to avoid heavy traffic later in the morning.

And Suze from Jordan wrote:When I was a teenager,I enjoyed taking my courses as early as possible.That way I could find a long time in the day to do my own activities.

But Azra from Kyrgyzstan said:The reason why schools start early here is a lack of classrooms.

And Joruji in Japan wrote:When I was a teenager,I used to get up before six to go to school,which was far from home,and I don't remember having problems.I think nowadays the Internet,TV games and cell phones make teens go to sleep later.

Thirty­year­old Kika in Spain said:In my opinion,young people are very lazy.

But Dennis Jin disagreed:For high school students in China,we must reach class at 6:20 in the morning and be back home usually at 10:00 in the evening.Then we'll have some extra schoolwork to do.Can you imagine how long could we sleep every day?

Teenagers are not the only ones who suffer.Kathy in Canada wrote:My daughter likes complaining about everything in the morning,and I know that this is from lack of sleep.I wish schools should change their start time to 8:30 or 9:00 in the morning.

And Naima Star in Libya wrote:Getting up so early in the morning and leaving the warm bed is so difficult,especially in the cold weather.It reminds me of that old song:“It's nice to get up in the morning,but it's nicer to stay in bed.”

With the trans-Tasman travel now in place, many of us are dreaming of afternoons watching sunsets fall over New Zealand’s dramatic mountains and lakes. After a long time of lockdown, it’s an appealing prospect. One great way to see the sights without breaking the bank is to rent a camper(野营车).

“It’s amazing to see the smaller towns and learn about what happens on an orchard(果园)or a farm while staying in my camper, ” says Karen Nisbet, a 38-year-old New Zealander who has spent more than four years on the road.

If you’ve never taken a camper trip before, you might be wondering what it’s like. In New Zealand, you can camp at many places if you have the right vehicle. “To be able to camp better, your vehicle needs to be certified as self-contained, ” says Andy Ford, who runs a business renting campers in Auckland and Christchurch. “That basically means you have a portable toilet, and you’ve got water and food supply on board. ”

“There is something to check before booking, because if you camp outside a campground without the proper certification, you can be fined. Even with a self-contained vehicle, it doesn’t mean you can camp anywhere, ” Mr Ford adds. Many cities and popular tourist destinations like Queenstown often have restrictions, as do areas marked for conservation.

The good news is that it’s easy to find a place to stay. NZ’s Department of Conservation has a website you can use to search for camping sites around the country, or you could use an app.

If you’re camping, it’s important to make sure you deal with your waste properly. Many camp-grounds will have a dump(垃圾场)nearby for convenience, but you may need to plan ahead.
