　　The porter brings your bags to your room and helpfully explains all you want to know．Then he points to the phone and says：“If there's anything else you need, just call．”All this time you have been thinking one thing：“How much should I tip(付小费)him?”To make your next trip a little easier, here's a guide to tipping across some Asian countries．

　　Bangkok

　　In general, the more Westernized the place is, the more likely you will be expected to leave a tip．Some top-end restaurants will add a 10％ service charge to the bill．If not, waiters will appreciate you tacking on(附加)the 10％ yourself．However, if you're eating at lower-end(低档的)restaurant a tip is not necessary．If you're staying at one of Bangkok's many five-star hotels, expect to tip the porter 20 to 50 baht, depending on how many bags you have．Taxis are now metered in Bangkok．Local custom is to round the fare(车费)up to the nearest five baht．

　　Tipping is customary in this money-mad metropolis(大都市)．Most restaurants add a 10％ service charge to the hill, but the extra money often ends up in the pocket of the owner．If the service is good, add another 10％ to the bill, up to UK 100 in an especially nice restaurant．For HK 10 hotel porters should do it at all but the nicest hotel where a new HK 20 bill may be more acceptable．When in a taxi, round up(凑整数)to the nearest dollar．

　　Kuala Lumpur

　　Tipping in Malaysia is limited to the expensive Westernized hotels, which often add a 10％ service charge to your meal or hotel room．If you are at a hotel restaurant, expect a 10％ service charge．But at local restaurants, there's no need to add a tip．At five-star hotels, one or two ringgit will content a porter．At lower end buildings you don't have to tip．Like Bangkok, many taxis are now metered(打表)so you can just round up to the nearest ring it．

　　Tipping is not part of Korean culture, although it has become a matter of course in international hotels where a 10％ service charge is often added．If you're at a Korean barbecue joint(烧烤处), there's no need to add anything extra．But a nice Italian restaurant may require a 10％ contribution．If you're at a top-end hotel, so expect to pay 500－1000 won per bag．Taxi drivers don't accept a tip．Keep the change for yourself．

　　Michael McCarthy climbed to the top of the Willis Tower not long ago．The Tower stands 1451 feet(442 meters)tall, the highest building in the US．

　　As he got to the last step, McCarthy almost fell down, but that didn't stop him．The 14-year-old boy finally finished climbing the 2,109 steps and arrived at the top, where he enjoyed the cheers from the crowd．

　　“I just want to show people that if a kid with no legs can do it, anyone can do it, ”McCarthy said．

　　McCarthy, who was born without legs, has to wear prosthetic legs(假肢)and use a set of crutches(拐杖)to walk．But McCarthy has a strong heart．He believes nothing can stop him from achieving his success．

　　He has been in a karate(空手道)school since he was four years old．When he decided to climb the Willis Tower, his karate teacher, Jeff Kohn, was moved and offered to help train him．They spent more than 10 hours practicing climbing stairs and keeping balance with the prostheses and crutches on the steps every day．“It seems that he never knows what tiredness is．Sometimes, I was so tired that I asked him to call it a day, ”said Kohn．“But he said he was still full of energy and wanted more exercise．”

　　Kohn was with McCarthy for the climb．“I saw the last 10 floors-he went faster, ” said Kohn．“He's the most hard-working athlete I've ever trained．”

　　McCarthy said he was proud of himself and that the Tower now holds special meaning．“When I'm older, I'll point to the building and say ‘Look at this building I climbed’．”he said．

　　There are many unusual hotels around the world．In Greenland, there is a hotel made out of ice, open between April and December every year．In Turkey, there is a cave hotel with a television, furniture, and a bathroom in each room．And in Bolivia, there is the Salt Palace Hotel．

　　Thousands of years ago, the area around the Salt Palace Hotel was a large lake．But over time, all the water disappeared．Today, the area has only two small lakes and two salt deserts．

　　The larger of the two deserts, the Uyuni salt desert, is 12, 000 square kilometers．During the day, the desert is bright white because of the salt．There are no roads across the Uyuni desert, so local people must show guests the way to the hotel．

　　In the early 1990s, a man named Juan Quesada built the hotel．He cut big blocks(块)of salt from the desert and used the blocks to build it．Everything in the hotel is made out of salt：the walls, the roof, the tables, the chairs, the beds, and the hotel's bar．

　　The sun heats the walls and roof during the day．At night the desert is very cold, but the rooms stay warm．The hotel has 12 rooms．A single room costs＄40 a night, and a double room costs＄60．

　　A sign on the hotel's wall tells guests, “ Please don't lick the walls-it doesn't taste good! ”

　　Harry Mendis, a 15-year-old British schoolboy, had a long hiccup(打嗝)at the end of last month．

　　His hiccups began one Sunday lunchtime and lasted for two weeks．After the first week, Harry's parents took him to hospital, but it took another week for the doctors to cure(治愈)him．

　　Harry who is now back at school is talking about his hiccups．

　　“When I began to hiccup, I drank a glass of water, but that didn't work．That evening I had hiccups every four seconds．I tried many ways to stop them．I held my breath(屏住呼吸)and drank cold drinks．My father even tried to give me a shock, but that didn't work, either．After a week of sleepless nights, I went to hospital．The doctors couldn't find anything wrong．They gave me some medicine and my hiccups slowed down, but it was another week before the medicine worked completely(完全)and my hiccups stopped．”

　　Harry was very lucky．The world record(记录)holders is the American farmer Charles Smith, who hiccupped for 69 years and 5 months．He stopped hiccups in 1990 at last, but nobody knew why．
