A TIP ON TIPPING: Tipping after a meal is not a standard practice around the world.  In fact, in some countries, such as Japan and South Korea, tipping is seen as an insult because workers feel they are already getting paid to do their job.

A TIMELY TOPIC: Americans often estimate their arrival time for events or meetings and think little of being tardy. But if you're  late in many countries, like Germany, it is considered offensive and viewed as a sign of disrespect for other people's time.
