PRACTICAL TRAVELER: "ONE of the side effects of travel is finding yourself in situations where you don't know the protocol. In some sense, that's why we leave home: to learn how to drink yerba maté out of a gourd in Argentina, or the proper etiquette for ordering a cappuccino at a cafe counter in Rome.
But sometimes, being clueless merely breeds discomfort, with not even a funny anecdote to redeem the awkwardness of the moment. A case in point: not knowing when or what to tip, a quandary bound to trip up even the most urbane traveler. "
