  The porter brings your bags to your room and helpfully explains all you want to know. Then he points to the phone and says:“If there's anything else you need, just call.” All this time you have been thinking about one thing; “How much should I tip(付小费) him?” To make your next trip a little easier, here's a guide to tipping across some Asian countries.

Bangkok

  In general, the more Westernized the place is, the more likely you will be expected to leave a tip. Some top-end restaurants will add a 10% service charge to the bill. If not, waiters will appreciate you tacking on(附加) the 10% yourself. However, if you're eating at lower-end(低档的) restaurant a tip is not necessary. If you're staying at one of Bangkok's many five-star hotels, expect to tip the porter 20 to 50 baths, depending on how many bags you have. Taxis are now metered in Bangkok. Local custom is to round the fare(车费) up to the nearest five baths.

Hong Kong

  Tipping is customary in this money-made metropolis(大都市). Most restaurants add a 10% service charge to the bill, but the extra money often ends up in the pocket of the owner. If the service is good, add another l0% to the bill, up to HK $ 100 in an especially nice restaurant. For HK $ 10 hotel porters should do it at all but the nicest hotels where a new HK $ 20 bill may be more acceptable. When in a taxi, round up(凑整数) to the nearest dollar.

Kuala Lumpur

  Tipping in Malaysia is limited to the expensive Westernized hotels, which often add a 10% service charge to your meal or hotel room. If you are at a hotel restaurant, expect a 10% service change. But at local restaurants, there's no need to add a tip. At five-star hotels, one or two ringgit will content a porter. At lower-end buildings don't feel you have to tip. Like Bangkok, many taxis are now metered(打表) so you can just round up to the nearest ringgit.

Seoul

  Tipping is not part of Korean culture, although it has become a matter of course in international hotels where a 10% service charge is often added. If you're at a Korean barbecue joint(烧烤处), there's no need to add extra. But a nice Italian restaurant may require a 10% contribution. If you're at a top-end hotel, so expect to add anything 500~1 000 won per bag. Taxi drivers don't accept a tip. Keep the change for yourself.

  A French girl outside Buckingham Palace said:“I was so excited. I saw the Queen! She came out in a Rolls Royce. I've been interested in your royal family since I was a little girl. I've read all the stories, especially about Charles and Diana, in French newspapers and magazines. They tell me what your royal family really do. Your newspapers can't tell the truth about them!”

  An Italian boy, who was in Britain for the first time, talked about the weather. “I can' t understand it. I've been here for over a week, and I still haven' t seen any fog!”

  A Japanese student from Tokyo said:“I've been in Britain since April, and I' m living with a British family. I've noticed one big difference between British and Japanese families. British men do jobs like cooking, washing up and ironing. They're jobs which I've never seen Japanese men do. They think it' s women's work. But I don' t agree!”

  A German student, at a language school in Oxford said:“I thought Britain was a modern European country, you've been in the EEC for years now. So why do you still use miles, pints, and pounds, instead of kilometres, litres and kilos? And why do you still drive on the wrong side of the road?”

  A Danish girl in Brighton said:“I came to Britain a month ago. I've noticed one very strange thing here. After British people have washed the dishes, they never rinse(remove…with water) them. They just take them out of the dirty, soapy water and leave them to dry!”

  A Swedish girl said:“I've watched a lot of television since I arrived in Torquay two weeks ago. British television's wonderful! But the “programmes” which I've enjoyed most are the advertisements. They're very funny a very clever, or both. Back home in Sweden we don't have any TV advertisements at all!”

  Who said what?

Who do you think said these things? Write them on your answer sheet.

1.□

It makes shopping very difficult. For example, I don't know what size shoes or jeans to ask for.

2.□

Did you know that he did not speak to her at that time, except in public?

3.□

I enjoy guessing what they're for, you know beer or toothpaste or whatever, before they actually name the product.

4.□

I help too-my friends at home would be very surprised if they could see me.

5.□

In fact the sun hasn't stopped shining-it's not at all like in old films and Dickens novels.

6.□

Surely it's not difficult to put them under the cold tap for a moment.
