Tipping Etiquette: Your Thoughts?
In Russia, it's common to leave three cents for tea. People think that since you're a guy, you could have easily paid for dinner yourself.
I usually leave reasonable amounts ranging from 100 to 1000 rubles. If the service isn't great, I don't leave anything. But it's different in Mexico. There, you're obliged to leave a minimum of 20-25%. If it's dinner for three at a regular, fairly civilized restaurant, tips usually average around 4-5 thousand rubles. You physically can't avoid paying; Mexicans surround you, and it's more of a voluntary-compulsory procedure ;) Parking is the same story – you won't find anything cheaper than 1000 rubles, even if the parking lot resembles a minefield with palm trees growing between cars.
In Costa Rica, things are better; people are very polite, and the service is excellent. I'm judging by the @vista_del_alma hotel and its restaurant.
Do you leave tips? If yes, how much? What's the largest tip you've ever given?
Daydreaming from Home: Ten Days of Plans?
As I watch my friends scatter to distant vacation destinations, I find myself firmly planted on team "staying home" this time, indulging in a healthy dose of wanderlust as I drool over photos from airplane windows and dreamy getaways.
Now, here's a burning question for you, dear followers: What exciting plans do you have in store for the next ten days? I'm eager to hear your ideas on how to make the most of this time, whether it's a far-flung adventure or a cozy retreat right at home.
While those fortunate enough to find themselves at @vista_del_alma can bask in the sun for hours, here at home, it seems that the prevailing theme of the day is none other than the art of procrastination. 😄
