Is there something that you should know?
I can tell you what you want to hear
Let your inhibitions just go

No you don’t know what you will give up
You don’t know what you want
It may take you years to find out
You don’t know what you need
It’s something that may never come to you

Trust is something that comes easy
Whan you’ve never been a victim
Lies and promises and words are said
It’s you’re decision to accept them

In Hong Kong every bill simply has a 10% "service charge" added to it, which the wait staff then split amongst themselves. You then only round up the change when paying your bill (paying $80 for a meal that cost $78.50 HKD). In NYC I get dirty looks for tipping 20%!!!
