You'll be surprised! Whilst normal service workers like waitress, taxi drivers and chambermaids don't expect to be tipped, on the other hand people like doctors and surgeons, or your bosses in the department, or some government authorities that have granted you approval or permits...it is customary to send them year end presents lined with ееее!
If you watch the Japanese TV series Doctor X you will get a good idea of what it is like. I had a Japanese tour guide who had to undergo hip surgery confirmed this practice. |
