When I travel I
do purposely avoid situations that are uncomfortable to me even after having tried them a couple of times.
Or do you go out of your way to avoid these situations in Europe as well?
In my part of Europe it is not customary to tip. I usually pay by debit/credit card and here there isn't even a line for a tip. Elsewhere in Europe, tipping is not very common but if I don't know the customs, I always try to remember to find out. After that, the same applies for me in Europe as in the U.S., i.e. tip when it is required but avoid those places when you can.
