Littering and spitting are illegal in Hong Kong and will incur on the spot fines. In Hong Kong you may lose face, save face, or give face to another person. It is an intangible quality that reflects a person's reputation, dignity and prestige. You give someone face by complimenting them, showing them respect, or doing anything that increases their self-esteem. Such actions must be done with the utmost sincerity, doing them in a patronizing manner causes both parties to lose face. Humiliating people by publicly reprimanding them, insulting them publicly, or contradicting them in front of someone else causes them to lose face.
Tipping: A 10% service charge is usually added to restaurant bills, but waiters will still expect some loose change in addition to this. If no service charge is included, a 10% tip is expected. Taxi fares are rounded up to the nearest dollar (usually automatically by the driver).
