Ok here's an important tidbit:

DO NOT TIP PEOPLE HERE. I just found this out the hard way. They don't like it although I'm not quite sure why.

I am done trying to tip. I tried to give the cab driver money and he looked at me like I was crazy although I'm kinda glad he refused it because the cab ride was $240. The bellhop who insisted on wheeling my luggage up to my room looked like I had just slapped him when I tried to offer him money.

Spotted the tail end of a R-34 from my cab along with a white 2012 sport and a really pretty BMW 645i. Got a pic of the beemer but the other two were on different "ramp thingies" so I didn't really have a chance.

I assumed (like most things) it was exaggerated.

More correctly, I thought it was like Europe where tipping is optional but certainly not offensive.

Lol, ok, I know a lot of places in France screw you into an auto tip past their outrageous tax. But when I went to England I was told that 5% tip is a good tip and when I gave 10% to a few places, they thought I was like stupidly rich (I also had 2 iPhones, my US and UK one, so when I took them out of my pocket at lunch or dinner, that threw off a lot of people too)

2 iPhones... thats baller.

Lol, I used the US one for music and the UK for phone calls and texts, and I remember going into a minimart in London, putting both phones on the counter to take my wallet out to pay and the woman asked me why I needed TWO phones, and what I did for a living. I paid, and said with a straight face "I work for MI6." (English Secret Service) and walked out quickly, LOL
