To Tip or not to Tip?

Customs on tipping for good service vary significantly from country to country.

• In Japan there is a no tipping culture and you may offend your waiter if you try to give them money.
• In America, tips are very much expected and it's rude if you don't leave anything.
• In France the service charge must be included in the bill by law. However, many locals will also leave some coins as an extra sign of appreciation.

Research before you travel. In some countries you will be expected to tip taxi drivers and hotel staff, so you'll need some local currency from the start.
