A

Different countries have different tipping customs． When you travel， you need to know

howto tip in the country that you're in ； otherwise you'll leave servers angry everywhere you

go．Here are just a few guidelines to tipping around the world．

Brazil

There will always be a standard 10% service charge added to your bill， and you

won'tnecessarily have to tip ． If you do feel like being generous， an extra 5-10% will really

make yourserver very happy ． Just remember to do this as skillfully as possible-Brazilians

don't make abig show of this ．

Dubai

In Dubai it's a rule for restaurants to charge 10% tip on all restaurant and bar bills． You canadd

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．

Germany

German bars and restaurants will include the tip as part of what you owe， but that's not allyou

have to pay ． It is a custom to round the bill up after that， usually to the euro． This can

beanywhere from 5-10% ． When it's time to settle up， you won't get a bill： your waiter

tells you thetotal and then you tell them how much you want to pay ， including your "tip"，

and hand over themoney ．

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

If you like the service， go ahead and tip your server 5-10%．You have to adjust that amount

though，based on how big the meal you're eating is． If the bill is for a small meal， and totals

lessthan 300 rupees ， tip the full 10%． If the bill is higher， tip towards the 5%．

B

My nephew came for a visit one hot， July weekend． I persuaded him to stay inside by joining

him in a Nintendo game． After being mercilessly defeated by a more experienced player， I

suggested that we relax for a while． He slipped out of the room and I caught a few moments of 第2页，共13页 peace and quiet．

"Look，Alice，"he said enthusiastically as he ran over to the chair where I was recovering．"I

found a kite． Could we go outside and fly it？"

Glancing out of a nearby window，I noticed there was not a breeze（微风）． "I'm sorry，Tripper，" I said， sad to see his disappointed eyes， but thankful for the short period of rest

from

more activities． "The wind is not blowing today． The kite won't fly．"

The determined 10-year-old replied．"I think it's windy enough．I can get it to fly，"he

answered，as he hurried out through the back door． I peeked through the curtains to watch

determination in action．Up and down the yard he ran，pulling the kite attached to a small length

of string．The plastic kite，proudly displaying a picture of Batman， remained about shoulder

level．

He ran back and forth，as hard as his ten-year-old legs would carry him，looking back hopefully

at the kite trailing behind． After about ten minutes of unsuccessful determination， he came

back in．

I asked， "How did it go？" "Fine，" he said， "I got it to fly some．" As he walked past me

to return the kite to the closet shelf， I heard him say under his breath， "I guess I'll have to wait

for the wind．"

At that moment I heard another voice speak to my heart． "Alice， sometimes you are just like

that． You want to do it your way instead of waiting for the wind．" And the voice was

right． We usually want to use our own efforts to accomplish what we want to do． We wait

for the wind only after we have done all we can and have exhausted our own strength． We

must learn how to rely on Him in the first place!
