Why did customs officials always seem so happy when only Korean planes arrived...?

180.252.***.***

It seems like you don't see much of that these days..



When you went to Soekarno-Hatta Airport in the past..

The moment Korean Air or Asiana Airlines arrived

Touts and hustlers would swarm like that..


As you probably know well

The touts mentioned here..

Are people who would safely retrieve your luggage, help you get into the airport, and so on..


Since there was an exchange rate difference, you could do it without spending much money

Get your luggage out safely(?)

Illegally enter inside the airport, meet Korean visitors

And pass through immigration very quickly too, that kind of thing happened often..

Of course, I used those services too..



I thought that was just how Indonesia was, so everyone did it..


But..

When foreign..foreigners' planes arrived

Those touts didn't appear..

It's not certain though..


It was interesting..


When planes from other countries arrived, those touts wouldn't swarm

But only when Korean planes arrived, the touts would swarm like that..




I don't know if it's still like that now

But according to news from a few years ago

I heard that at Cambodia Airport, only Koreans pay taxes..


There are three sections you have to pass through to enter..

1 dollar each time you pass..

A total of 3 dollars, they said..


When someone tried to protest

They were told it's already become customary and they have to pay no matter what..


When they investigated the history..

A Korean had given 5 dollars to go through the airport faster

And after that, it became a custom, they said..



Koreans who have to pay 3 dollars at Cambodia Airport probably curse the Cambodians..

But the origin of it..

The one who started committing the illegal act was a Korean..



Indonesia doesn't seem much different..

Touts only appear for Korean planes..

What does it mean..?

It means they've found their mark..


Instead of committing illegal acts themselves..the Koreans are the nation that pays money

That's what the Indonesians figured out..




City Fishermen Alaska episode..

It's very interesting..

I think I've seen it over 10 times..


I woke up early yesterday and was watching the Alaska episode..


They went out to catch a fish called Eloai..

This Eloai fish has a small population and is designated as a protected species..

So if one person catches one, you can't fish anymore..


All the cast members caught one

But this Mr. Kyung-gyou didn't catch an Eloai..

Instead, he caught a fish that looked a bit strange..


Since he didn't catch an Eloai, he was about to cast his line again

The American steward on the boat took his fishing rod..


It turned out..

The fish Mr. Kyung-gyou caught was also a rare species, so you can only catch one..

So they said they can't fish anymore today..

Mr. Kyung-gyou and the crew accepted what the Americans said and quit fishing..



Here..


Something came to mind..


They boarded a boat for 4 hours.. to catch Eloai..

But Mr. Kyung-gyou didn't catch any..

Since they boarded for 4 hours, it must be the open sea..


They came all the way from Korea to Alaska..and then boarded a boat for 4 hours there

And because of legal issues they couldn't fish anymore, they said..



If that place wasn't America

But Costa Rica or Indonesia

Would the crew and Mr. Kyung-gyou have agreed so easily..is what crossed my mind..



Wouldn't they have said "we'll pay you more, let us catch"..?

After going there with expensive production costs

It doesn't seem like a problem to just give a bit more in tips..



Many people commit illegal acts and mistake it for ability..

I'm the same way too..


But..what's interesting is..

First they commit illegal acts..and plant the idea that "Koreans are that kind of people"

And then instead curse the Indonesians..the Cambodians..


Whether it's rotten or whatever..


Despite being treated as easy marks by the locals..

We're quite amused, aren't we..?

    [KR] 뭐... 피차일반이지 않을까 싶어요. 닭이 먼저냐 달걀이 먼저냐의 차이겠지만... 한국이니까... 반대로... 인도네시아니까... 이런 인식. 사실 그렇잖아요. 예전에 한국 기업이 인도네시아 진출한 가장 큰 이유가 미개척 시장임과 동시에 임금이 싸다는 것... 거기서 비롯되지 않았을까 싶네요. 인도네시아니까... (무언의 인정) 하는 일이 생겨난거고... 반대로 인도네시아 사람들도 말씀하신 것처럼... 한국인이니까... 어느게 먼저가 될지는 모르겠지만 그런 만행들이 사라지는 시기가 오면 또 반대로... 인도네시아를 바라보는 한국인이 느끼는 메리트도 자연스레 줄어들지 않을까 싶네요. 마지막 말씀이 확~!!! 와 닿네요. 자신들만 모르지 호구취급 받는다는 말씀... 사업을 하면서 그런 경험을 할 때가 종종 있습니다. 겉으로는 Boss... 사장님... 이러면서 굽신거리지만 실제 그들이 생각하고 있는 것을 들여다 보면 어떻게 하나 걸고 넘어져서 뒷돈이나 받을까... 굽신거리다가 안되면 그다음 스탭이 괴롭히는 걸로 돌변하죠. 그런걸 보면 인식 자체가 한국인을 호구로 보고 있구나... 하는 생각이 들기도 합니다. 그래서 더욱 더 원칙대로 하게 되고 순리대로 하려고 하지만 이미 뿌리깊게 내린 그들의 인식은 저~ 윗선까지 한통속이라는 생각이 들게 만드는 일들이 많더라구요. 아마도 예전에 말씀하셨던 계약직에 건달이 끼어 있는 것도 비슷한 케이스가 될 수 있겠네요.

    [EN] Well... I think it might be mutually similar. It's like the chicken and egg question, which came first... Because it's Korea... conversely... because it's Indonesia... these kinds of perceptions exist. That's actually how it is. The biggest reason Korean companies entered Indonesia back then was that it was an untapped market and wages were cheap... I think that might be where it originated from. Because it's Indonesia... (tacit acceptance) such practices developed... and conversely, Indonesian people too, as you mentioned... because they're Korean... I'm not sure which comes first, but when those atrocities disappear, then conversely... won't the merits that Koreans feel when looking at Indonesia naturally decline as well? Your last remark really hits the mark!!! The comment about how only they don't realize they're being treated like suckers... While doing business, I often have such experiences. On the surface, they say things like Boss... Owner... while being obsequious, but when you look at what they're actually thinking, it's how can we find fault with them and get some money under the table... and when being obsequious doesn't work, they suddenly switch to harassing the next staff member. When I see that, I sometimes think their perception itself is viewing Koreans as fools... That's why I try even more to act by principles and follow the right way, but their deeply-rooted perceptions often make me feel like it's all connected all the way up to the higher-ups. Perhaps the case of gangsters mixed in with contract workers you mentioned before could be a similar situation as well.

    [ID] Saya pikir tidak ada yang berbeda antara satu sama lain. Seperti pertanyaan mana yang duluan antara ayam atau telur... tetapi... Karena Korea... sebaliknya... karena Indonesia... semacam persepsi seperti ini. Faktanya memang demikian. Alasan terbesar mengapa perusahaan Korea masuk ke Indonesia dulu adalah karena pasar yang belum dikembangkan sekaligus upah yang murah... Saya pikir itu berasal dari sana. Karena Indonesia... (pengakuan diam-diam) tindakan seperti itu muncul... dan sebaliknya, orang-orang Indonesia juga seperti yang Anda katakan... karena orang Korea... Saya tidak tahu mana yang lebih dulu, tetapi ketika waktu datang untuk tindakan buruk itu menghilang, sebaliknya... keuntungan yang dirasakan orang Korea dalam memandang Indonesia mungkin akan berkurang secara alami. Pernyataan terakhir Anda benar-benar menyentuh saya. Mengatakan bahwa mereka diperlakukan sebagai bodoh padahal mereka tidak menyadarinya... Sering ada pengalaman seperti itu ketika berbisnis. Secara lahiriah mengatakan Boss... Pak Bos... dan membungkuk rendah, tetapi ketika melihat apa yang sebenarnya mereka pikirkan, mereka sedang mencari cara untuk menjerat Anda agar bisa mendapat uang suap... ketika membungkuk tidak berhasil, mereka berubah menjadi mengganggu di tahap berikutnya. Melihat hal itu, saya merasa bahwa persepsi mereka memandang orang Korea sebagai bodoh... Jadi saya semakin berusaha bertindak sesuai prinsip dan prosedur yang benar, tetapi persepsi mereka yang telah berakar dalam membuat saya berpikir bahwa mereka adalah satu kesatuan hingga ke tingkat paling atas. Ada banyak insiden yang menimbulkan pemikiran seperti itu. Mungkin hal yang Anda sebutkan sebelumnya tentang preman yang terlibat dalam kontrak juga bisa menjadi kasus serupa.
