I was on my first international travel, making an awkward encounter. In the beginning, I thought I needn't to tip my hotel cleaning staff in TaiWan. But Gradually I noticed my hotel cleaning staff did not friendly when serving me. I had a little confused what had happened to him? When I talking about this with my Taiwan friends, suddenly, it all became clear to me. Making tipping research is essential for travelers to know exactly who deserves a tip.
What you need to know before you go
Every country has its own destination specific tipping culture so, before taking off, buy a good guidebook (like Lonely Planet Series)about destination or search destination specific tipping information via Internet and you also make a question on some travel forums or Yahoo Answer.
Whom you should tip
Not everyone you should tip by destination. Besides how much you should give and how often? Here's a list of types of folks you may have to tip wherever you're going. There's a useful Worldwide Tipping Guide that summarizes acceptable tips in other countries in a convenient chart.

How to find the cheap airefare with third party websites like CheapOair.com

I have no experience personally with 
but knows the company has been around for over 10 years. My friend tell me she had used this. She said the prices are very cheap and can be $100+ off the prices directly.
I know there are many third party websites like 
, but some of them ended up paying more for the exact same trip than I did because of the surcharge. The wise method is that use them to look up flights, and then go directly to each airline company website until I find one that is really cheap.
That's not say that all of third party websites are not reliable. 
often offers flight coupon codes. It may be worth thing if you really need to save money. My friends do it and save quite a bit of money by flying domestically.

AirAsia has opened Sri Lanka airline
- June 6, 2009 12:56 PM
- Discount Airfare
Nowadays, From ShenZhen to Kuala Lumpur round-trip ticket is 380RMB and From Kuala Lumpur to Sri Lanka round-trip ticket is approximately 200RMB. However, the total airfare is approximately 700RMB. If you grab the Free Seat, I think the price will be slower than now. To be honest, maybe the price will be cheaper that HaiNan trip in the future.
