Vol.121:How to use tip

Good morning. We arrived in Milos island in Greece.
After that, we’ll go to Syros island in Greece.
We’ll arrive about 8pm in Syros.

So we have two port of call today.


Let me talk about tip.
Recently, I understand how to use tip.

According to Japanese dictionary, tip means “a sum of money given to someone as a reward for a service”.

Especially in Great Britain and the united states, the habit is more common.

I didn’t get used to tip.
My first time to get tip was at Cesme port in Turkey.
I just helped to carry one of passenger’s luggage.
But i received 5€ as a tip.

After that I gradually realize what is tip.


Let me tell an example in my case.

When I go to cafe to use Wi-Fi, I usually just order water.
I sometimes stay long time even I just order water.

In this case, I feel so sorry to the cafe.
I feel unfair about it as well.

If I do it like this, I try to pay extra money as a tip.
This is to express appreciation.

In short, I think “Tip is my honest feeling.”.

If I really want to feel to give tip, It makes my feeling good.
Also the other person who receives money feels good.

I think tip is win-win relationship.

After coming back to Japan, I want to make use of chip willingly.

See you.
