Ronさんの最初の中近東への旅は、クエート。FactFullnessのデータでは、日本やアメリカと同じレベル４。所得は日本やアメリカよりも高いとのこと。さて、1986年のクエートは？中近東は？
From Turkey on my way back to Japan I traveled to Kuwait to give a seminar to the General Motors GMC dealer there. That was my first time to the Middle East, and it was before the ’91 Gulf War. Here again, the General Motors consultant to the Middle East wanted training for his dealers too.
中近東の地域内のコンフリクト。
The Middle East is a region as you know, but each country has its own character. In those days, there are the oil/natural gas rich countries with low populations, the oil/natural gas rich countries with large populations, the countries with a small amount of oil, the countries with little oil but an educated labor force, etc. That is still pretty true today I would guess, but the conflicts in the region make everything very complicated.
クエートは多くの国から労働者やセールスパーソンを受入れ。
Well, Kuwait is in the first group, an oil/natural gas rich, and low population country. They import labor for almost everything. In an automotive dealership, the service technicians were usually from Thailand, India, Sri Lanka and The Philippines. The sales people were usually from Palestine (or Israel/Jordan/Lebanon or whatever you want to call them), Egypt, Sudan, India or Pakistan. I have no idea why, but I am very comfortable training the Palestinian’s or Egyptian’s in that region. They seem to be the most interested in expanding their skills and knowledge.
母国を離れて仕事をするということ。
I have a strong feeling that anyone who leaves his home country to make a better life in a different country is very special and not completely like his average countryman. For some strange reason, the Chinese, Japanese, Jewish, Palestinian, Indian, Korean and Egyptian have been able to be successful anywhere they go. Well, the people I train are those very special people, and I’ve enjoyed training them. I guess it is because I am one of them, being an American living outside of the United States over half my life. I left my country at the age of 28 years old and have not returned to live up to this writing.
