Tips on Tipping(给小费的学问)
6. Kuala Lumpur
6、吉隆坡
Like Indonesia, tipping in Malaysia is confined to the pricier Westernized joints, which often add a 10% service charge to your meal or hotel room. If you are at a hotel restaurant, expect a 10% service charge. But at local restaurants, there's no need to add a gratuity. At five-star hotels, one or two ringgit will suffice a porter. At lower-end establishments, don't feel compelled to tip. Like Bangkok, many taxis are now metered, so you can just round up to the nearest ringgit.
像在印度尼西亚一样,在马来西亚给小费也仅限于那些价格较高的西式场所。在那里,一般在就餐或旅馆房间的费用之外附加10%的服务费。如果你在饭店的餐厅就餐,也得准备给10%的服务费。但在当地的饭馆里,却没有心要附加小费。在五星级饭店,给搬运工一两个林吉特就足够了。在低档次的饭店,不一定非给小费不可。像曼谷一样,许多出租车都计程,所以只要凑足最近的整数就行。
7. Manila
7、马尼拉
Tipping is common in Manila, and anything above 10% will gain you undying loyalty. At restaurants, even if a service charge is included, custom dictates adding another 5%-10% to the bill. Hotel porters should be rewarded with 20 pesos per bag. Most taxicabs are metered, and rounding up to the next five pesos is a good rule of thumb.
在马尼拉给小费是很平常的事。只要付10%以上的服务费就能换来忠心耿耿的服务。在餐馆里,即使就餐费用里已经包括服务费,按一般惯例,还得在账单里再加上5%到10%。旅馆的搬运工每搬一件行李要给20个比索。大多数的出租车是打表计程的,把车费凑整到最近的五比索准保没错。
8. Seoul
8、汉城
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 are at a Korean barbecue joint, there's no need to add anything extra. But a sleek Italian restaurant may require a 10% contribution. If you are at a top-end hotel, international standards apply, so expect to pay 500-1,000 won per bag. Taxi drivers don't expect a tip. Keep the change for yourself.
给小费不是韩国文化的一部分,尽管在国际饭店里收取10%的服务费似乎是理所当然的一件事。如果你去一个吃韩国烧烤的地方,那么没有必要付额外的费用。但是在一个雅致的意大利餐馆就餐,可能就要多付10%的小费。如果你下榻的是最高级饭店,就要按国际规范行事。所以搬一件行李的小费大概是500到1,000韩元。不用给出租车司机小费,找的零钱你自己留着好了。
9. Singapore
9、新加坡
According to government mandate in the Lion City, tipping is not permitted. It's basically outlawed at Changi Airport and officials encourage tourists not to add to the 10% service charge that many high-end hotels tack on to the bill. At restaurants, Singaporeans tend not to leave tips. Nicer restaurants do sometimes levy a 10% service charge. Hotel staff is the one exception to the no-tipping rule. As a general guide, S$1 should be adequate for baggage-lugging service. Taxi drivers don't expect gratuity, but they won't refuse it.
根据狮城政府的规定,给小费是不允许的。在樟宜国际机场,这种行为基本上是违法的。官员们鼓励游客拒绝支付一些高级饭店附加在账单上的10%的服务费。在饭馆就餐时,新加坡人一般都不留小费。一些好的饭馆有时也以征税的形式收取10%的服务费。饭店员工是不收小费原则的唯一例外。一般的准则是,如有人帮你搬运行李,给一新元就够了。出租车司机是不指望拿小费的,但你要给他们,他们也不会拒绝。
10. Taipei
10、台北
Like Japan and China, Taiwan is not a tipping society-even though much of the currency seems to come in coin form. Tipping is not expected in restaurants. However, that rule is changing as American-style eateries introduce Western ways. Hotel staff won't be overly offended if you don't tip. Gratuity is not expected in taxicabs.
就像日本和中国大陆一样,台湾不是一个给小费的社会—尽管大量货币是以硬币的形式出现。饭馆里不用给小费。不过,随着一些美式餐馆引进西方做法,这一原则也在改变。饭店的员工如果没有得到你的小费的话,也不会觉得大受冒犯。坐出租车也不需要给小费。
