Tipping Around the World
In US, tipping is around 15%. In NYC, I usually double the tax (8.5%) and then round it up, which comes up to roughly 17%+.
When I was in France, my friend was astonished that I tip 15%. She said to round up to the nearest Euro if under 10 Euros. What is the average tip in other parts of the world??
Please share your experience.

Since you say 'around the world' you might check other boards like Europe and Asia, etc.
I know Europe posters have a recent extensive thread on the subject, as LoveItaly mentioned. People there seem in agreement that 10% was max and often service is included so nothing more needed.
