Like a few already said, DON"T over tip. Tipping is fine but don't over do it. It will spool the girls. They will be expecting it from the next guy. They will start complaining that the last person ( foreigner ) from Mars Colony gave a 200 rmb when FS service was only for 200rmb. Why are you so cheap and only giving 50 rmb. You just make it more expensive and harder for everyone else that is less fortunate. Tipping is also not normally done by the locals but there are executions like at KTV's.
For you tipping 300 for 1100, I think you over did it. If it was me, around 100, unless she did something real special like going way over the time limit. 300 would be fine for the second or third time seeing her because you are building a relationship, IMHO. It also depends on where you are too. Taxi can cost $40 to 60 rmb in large cities.
For tipping at restaurant, hotels Maids, bell boys in HK, Macau and China, it's NOT normally done by the locals. In some of the restaurants in HK, China and Macau, there is a service fee already on top of your bill. Service fee are usually at some of the better restaurants. | |
