      Laying the money like that on the table is such a disrespectful way of treating the staff. Typical of Nate, he must’ve not thought it through, but it’s like tempting them unnecessarily. He’s even kept it like bait.

    When she first went into the room and saw the money, she counted and said “哇靠、這麼多⋯”, which means “damn, thats a lot!” She probably later on used an app to translate the note. When Kara spoke to her about the tip, she said “its too much”, “is this even possible?”, “im scared”, “you scared me”. After the hug, she said “im about to cry”. She spoke in a respectful way.

      @@waltbrown8899 It should be normal procedure for housekeeping to take photo of money in the room, both to protect staff and guests against misunderstanding. I would also like to add on that in Asia, tipping is usually more discreet. one would usually use an envelope which can be found in the hotel room drawer, or requested from the reception. When giving to waitstaff, one would usually fold the notes and pass discreetly too.

      Travel with NJ Steve it’s not the employee’s fault though in US. It’s the system shaped by the government that promotes individualism that worked but flawed now compared to many other system in the world. But singapore is a service based society. Feedback is very important and negative feedback can mean losing job and deportation and family going hungry. It’s different than many immigrants in the us. If deported they can find a way to come back, but not in singapore.

    I’m glad you enjoyed your stay here in Singapore. Thank you so much for being so kind and generous to the housekeeper. From her accent, she must be a foreign worker from China. Over here in Singapore, tipping is not an obligation but very much appreciated. So she probably never have and will never receive this much of tips ever. I’d say most of the time if she even received any tips would be SGD$5-$50. Depending on how generous her employer is, USD$500 should be around half or maybe more than half of her basic salary and it’s so much amount that she dare not accept! 👍👍👍

    When I I did extensive travel for my previous position, I had the opportunity to stay several nights at a nice hotel in Bangalore, India. I did something similar for the housekeeper and I had to give a written note so they knew I had actually gifted it to her. So appreciative, we forget what it is like in other countries, and we take for granted what we have here in the US. Good job, Nate and Kara!!!!!

When you're working and in the moment, you often don't think about something like this so it catches you off guard. If I'm also preoccupied and/or busy, you can get a great reaction from me!!

    Dear ones - BLESS YOUR HEARTS! That was such a precious, kind thing to do for that lady. She will never forget the kindness you showed her. You may never know how such a gift, given out of love and kindness, will impact her life and probably the lives of those around her. When I was 5 years old, my mom came home from work with a $100 dollar bill, left for her at work, anonymously. She was so happy - she let each of us kids hold it! It was Christmas time and I remember all 5 of us kids received the present we most wanted that year - mine was a doll. I didn't know the story behind this gift until 18 years later, at my mom's funeral. Two men walked up to her casket and introduced themselves to me and shared this story - they had left the $100. All these years later, when I remember their generosity and caring hearts, I am moved to tears. It made a huge impact in who I am. Thank you for sharing such beautiful joy with your viewers - may it inspire many acts of love and kindness. God bless you both in a new and special way. Journey on.

    As a Singaporean, I do wish to give fair props to the nationality of your housekeeper, who's actually a migrant worker from China, and she displayed such honesty and integrity - she was undeniably distracted that someone would leave so much money lying around, and clearly could not read the note written in English (as she needed to use her cellphone to translate and communicate with you guys). Hers, and you guys' reactions are so genuine and heartwarming! It is definitely great to receive, but greater to give!

    I worked for YEARS cleaning rooms in hotels, You both made her day I can promise you that!!! I was once tipped by a guest staying for an extended time, this person did the same thing. I did not take it either, the price for taking it is so high in some hotels. (Fines, being fired, JAIL even) Also you never know if it's a joke, or something not nice.🤔 Turned out the man missed his family and I talked to him when I was in there and also tried really hard to give him good service. So he felt like I had gone far and above, my employer had to tell me it was OK to take such a large tip. I have always hoped and prayed he got great service every where he went.
    Thank you both for this kind gesture to this hard working woman
    May God Bless you
