A little over $10,000 and wanting to move to Poland ... any tips?? [18]
@grubas: is it even possible to get in a student apartment with roommates WITHOUT going to school ?
I am not talking about a room in dormitory.There is not enough of them for all students and some of them rent apartaments and then sub rent rooms.The idea is that you would pay less than for your own place and live with people aprox.your age.
funny, here in the US we over tip compared to any other European countries. its
Well, like I said I used to drive a taxi in a resort town in the US so I believe I can tell something bout tipping. Most Americans tip (I don't think there is something like a tip too big) few DON'T.From a cabby perspective I can say the worst scumbags when it comes to tipping are WESTERN europeans (I even started refusing rides with them,I was an independent so I could pick and choose, if for some reason I didn't like you you had to take another taxi) even poor Russian students were tipping me a buck or two because they knew this is a rule in the US but western europeans tip very seldom.
but even when I do, foreign people only leave 10% even if the bill is over $100 or they'll just round up the number
Well some Americans do that too (it was embarasing when they were counting %) or even don't tip at all (maybe because I was a foraigner,I don't know).Basically what I learned as a general rule, the richer customer the smaller tip.Also, young Americans tip better than the old ones.Bartenders and waitresses tip well.I don't think foraigners know that as a bartender you make what $3-4/h?The best tip I ever had (by %) was on $5 run,$100 bill and "keep the change".
