In reply to Sandy. Thanks so much Sandy! It's interesting how different cultures work. I'm sure I'll get used to the tipping soon :) Thanks for sharing my story with your friends. I'll be sharing lots of things to do in Canada in the next weeks/months. Cheers, Lieselot

Lovely pics Lieselot, and great story too.
I’m no fan of tipping either, I guess you get used to it but in the first instance, you’re always trying to work out what things actually cost which can ruin the meal sometimes!
I will share your experience with a couple of young friends who are looking at going to Canada for a year next year, they will appreciate the heads up.

In reply to Emma Thompson. Thanks Emma! It is something totally new to get used to! I didn't know you had to tip in the UK too? It's just a bit weird in Canada, that you have to add tax + tip to the price that is displayed, which makes it way more expensive :) Hope the UK is treating you well!

It’s lovely to read your posts on your Canadian adventure so far Lieselot! Tips are a bit of a shock after NZ aren’t they (am having the same experience here in the UK!)
