How To Tip When Traveling Around The World💶✈️

Tipping customs can vary significantly from one country to another, making it important for travelers to understand the local norms and practices. While some countries expect tips, others consider tipping rude or extravagant.

For instance, in Canada🇨🇦 a 15-20% tip is expected when dining out as employees in the restaurant industry are financially dependent on their tip. Whereas, in Japan🇯🇵 tipping is not customary and can even be seen as impolite.

💸👉Currency Fun Facts: South Korean Won 🇰🇷

The official currency of South Korea is the South Korean won. Following World War ll in 1945, Korea was divided into North and South regions. Each country has a different currency, both called the won, for the South (KRW) and the North (KPW). The Korean won replaced the Korean yen, which was issued from 1910 to 1945. In fact, the word “won” is derived from the Chinese yuan and the Japanese yen.

The South Korean Won has four different banknote denominations ₩1,000, ₩5,000, ₩10,0000, ₩50,000.

The one thousand, five thousand, and ten thousand won displays Korean Confucian scholars of the Joseon Dynasty. Whereas the fifty thousand won shows the first woman to appear on a South Korean banknote Shin Saimdang, a Korean artist, writer, calligraphist and poet.
