What is the appropriate amount for tips (if any) if I don’t want to seem rude?

hotels in Korea
sad asked:


This is because I live in Korea, where tipping is generally not required.
Specifically, how much should I give as a tip to: cab drivers, hotel housekeeping, and waiters in a buffet restaurant?
Thanks for all your input, everybody. I know about the 15% guideline in regular restaurants. What I want to know is for the other stuff: cabs, hotels, and any other place where a tip is usually expected. I think I need a few more people’s opinions.
