It is a ridiculous idea that tips corrupt. But I know you are not suggesting that ;-)

Australians don't tip, so if you are Australian like me then the answer to the OPs question would be 'zilch'.

Americans tend to be the best tippers as of course it is expected to tip in USA.

Mimpi, most likely the Australian tourists that tip are not really Australians ? They just pretend to be and their passports are fake? Or they are not really on a budget but like to think so? :-)
Australians dont tip, zilch, isnt that true?
