So i've been in Vietnam for 5 weeks now and i have some questions to which i haven't found satisfactory answers by now, maybe reddit can help

​

1: Why is it kinda hard to tip waiters, taxi drivers etc? solid 90% of the time they refuse the tip ( i know this is statistics of the one, but nvm)

2:What is this hand movement when people receive or give money to someone? (they place their left hand on the crook of the right arm)

3: are there laws concerning prices? everywhere i go the beer costs the same as well as most of the foods, that can't be a coincidence

​

Just gonna add that i really love it here and that i'm really looking forward to return to Vietnam in February to do some more motorbiking around here :)
