Was in Amsterdam and Brussels recently and got really confused by the tipping. Some people say the tip's included in the bill, others not. Some say even if the tip's included, you should still leave 10% if the service has really been good (in Holland it usually is, in Belguim it usually is not). So please set me straight on the tipping policy is on that side of the pond, please. (or does it vary from country to country?)

Also -- just to be the complete nosy American -- how many euros for a zombie? Mai Tai?

Really enjoyed seeing the German record of Hawaiian songs.

Tipping is really up to you. I usually leave something when I receive a good service, but I don't have to.
Service is always include in your restaurants bills, so don't feel like a naughty boy if you leave the table with no penny on it.

A Trader Vic's Mai Tai is about 11 euros, a Tabou 6.
