While you recovered from your post Thanksgiving feast turkey-induced haze, Super World Travelers Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were in Vietnam saving the world, on a motorbike.

The pair popped up in Vietnam, Saigon to be specific, checked into the Park Hyatt Saigon, and began to tip heavily. Reports came back that Brad and Angie were quite generous with the staff during their stay, showering them with extra gifts and tips:

"They're...tipping staff really well. When they had dinner they left a £40 tip on a £130 bill - and they asked not to be given special treatment!"

According to Asiatravel.com, tipping is not customary in Vietnam, but it is appreciated. A 5-10 % tip on a meal can equal a whole days wages to a waiter or a waitress. Looks like the Super World Travelers just paid some lucky service worker's monthly salary.

Always nice to hear they're spreading the wealth to those working their asses off during the crazy holiday season. The big question was why they suddenly swung into town, perhaps to adopt another baby? The two jetted around on a rented motorbike sans helmets, and spent Friday at the Tam Binh orphanage in Saigon, even lunching there.
