Recently, I had an opportunity to visit Sri Lanka. When I told this to my colleagues before my departure, the first thing they asked me was, ¡ÈWhy do you go there? Similar people, similar culture, and there are only temples to see.¡É In a nutshell, they were basically right, but there are some slight, but interesting differences. Now I would like to share with you what I found there.

£±¡Ë A lot of travelers from advanced countries in Sri Lanka

I quite often saw Caucasian travelers in Sri Lanka. Of course we can see them in TVM, but it is once in a month to me. There, it is once in an hour. When it comes to the number in tourist destinations, it is more and they are everywhere. Now I would like to name the reasons why Sri Lanka attracts people.

­¡Sri Lanka has 8 UNESCO world heritages¡Ê4 of them are located to the center of the island, so it is quite convenient for tourist.¡Ë
­¢As the Tamil Tigers are subdued, it is safe to visit.
­£Sri Lankans can speak basic English.
­¤Few beggars on the street¡ÊAs many as that of Kerala¡Ë
­¥Sri Lanka is a little more hygiene than Kerala and has better social infrastructure such as paved road, water distribution and sewage system, etc.
­¦With the brand name¡ÖLipton¡×or¡ÖCeylon Tea¡×, people feel familiar to the country.
­§The price of goods is affordable for tourist from advanced countries.
­¨ Sri Lanka is a country of Buddhism, so there is little anxious about religious conflict.
­© For many people from advanced country (at least for Japanese), there is no need for VISA.

£²¡Ë Why are the infrastructures in Sri Lanka advanced compared to Kerala?

Kerala is one of the advanced states in India. But I have to admit Sri Lanka has better social infra-structure. Why do they have it? In a simple word, the answer is ODA. And Japan is one of the countries which has provided lots of money as well as technology to Sri Lanka.

Actually the Japan-Sri Lanka relation has been very good since 1951. When Japan was to be independent from the U.S., the U.S. asked Asian countries if they are happy with the independence of Japan. And Sri Lanka was the first country to express their full support. Since then, Japanese (at least the government) has supported the development of Sri Lanka.

Here is a date;
The ratio of total foreign aid in Sri lanka and India
S¡§I¡¡¡¡2¡§1¡Ê£±£¹£¹£°¡Ë¢ª3¡§1¡Ê£²£°£°£¸¡Ë
The ratio of population in Sri lanka and India
S:I £±¡§£µ£°¡Ê£±£¹£¹£°¡Ë¢ª£±¡§£µ£·¡Ê£²£°£°£¸¡Ë

The population shows such stark difference, and I am aware of the huge gap between rich Indian and poor Indian, but Sri Lanka has received much more foreign aid considering such background. Even Sri Lanka has more than twice of per capita GDP, Sri Lanka enjoys the benefit.

£³¡Ë Economic system and the attitude toward global economy

Considering the presence in global economy, India has enjoyed much more presence than that of Sri Lanka. Especially in the field of outsourcing in IT or software industry, India drilled its well in 1990s and has solidified its position in the global market. Even in 21st century, now in 2011, more and more work flow into India, and the population of so-called ¡Èmiddle class¡É has been increasing.

On the flipside of the coin, in Sri Lanka, I think the main source of income for many Sri Lankan are still in the economic system of 19th or 20th century; working in plantation for raising spice and tea, or work for a factory as a cheap labor. I am not saying it is bad. Those works are also necessary, and many Indian people are the same. But such labor-intensive works do not pay as much money as we earn through our work. In the 21st century, whether a country declines, keeps afloat, or flourishes depends on the capability of each individual worker. India understands this and has tried to adjust itself to the new environment, but it seems Sri Lanka has not.

I think you are reading this in Techno Park, but in Sri Lanka they do not have such scheme or system. Why could India make the shift and Sri Lanka could not? Below is my answer.

­¡Counter-productive foreign aid spoiled them.
Sri Lanka is addicted to foreign support like Africa. On the other hand, India could not have enough aid, so India had to stand on their own feet and was forced to find a way to make ends meet and gain the good position in global market in the end.

­¢Less motivation to work
¡ÊExample¡§In the information center at a station, 3 officers are assigned. Only one is in charge of the window and talk with the customer. The other two does nothing but seeing the people there with some guests waiting for their turn.¡Ë

­£India has more possibility to have a ¡Ègenius¡É with the help of big population
We hear a lot of success stories of excellent Indian Business managers, worldly famous engineers, or many study abroad students. However, I have never heard of such people from Sri Lankan side. Genius or visionaries see the world and try to adapt themselves to the new tide; how to optimize their organization, how to make more earnings, how to employ capable people etc. India has had many visionaries, but it seems Sri Lanka could not have enough because of the size of population.

I asked a friend of my Sri Lankan why they do not develop their own IT parks. The answer was simple; they tried and failed. I also asked if there was any protest to the failure from the local residents or not. With IT park, they can have better-paid worker, which can contribute to the local economy and it can be the driving force of the local economy. He said, ¡ÈEveryone is not so much interested in IT or software. People are not familiar with such big plan. They are more focused on the day to day bread and butter issue. ¡É People did not care because they did not understand what it meant, which can be a big mistake in the future and the next generation have to pay for the bad choice

Fortunately, we are on this big continent, not on the small island. Last but not least, Sri Lanka is a really attractive country. I liked it, so I will visit there again. But I have to say the sheer size of the population and economy in India, with its skilled workers, will boost the development in the coming decades and Sri Lanka may be in the similar economic situation even after 20 years if this trend stays with them.

I saw The Unluckiest Man in the World - QI Series 8 Ep13
Holidays Preview - BBC One on youtube.

As a Japanese, I can see some Japense
intolerable to see the program.

However I would like to express
my appreciation for your apology.

On the other hand, it is also true
that some Japanse are still not
comfortable with your reaction.
I mean, they think it was not enough.

So I would like to suggest your making
a documentary regarding hibakusha
so that they can see what you really feel.

If you feel what Japanses reaciton is
an overreaction, you should also make
an overreaction. I believe they will
love your attitude and your spirit.

Lukewarm War: Japan vs China ( Which side is Taiwan?)
À¸²¹¤«¤¤ÆüÃæÀïÁè¡¡¡ÊÂæÏѤϤɤÁ¤é¤ÎÌ£Êý¤«¡©¡Ë

It is not hot, not cold, but it really is a war between Japan and China. It is not a dispute over territory, trade, or currency. It is a war over the meaning of a word, ¡ÈRiben guizi¡É .

Ç®¤¯¤â¤Ê¤¯¡¢¤½¤ì¤Ç¤¤¤ÆÎ䤿¤¯¤â¤Ê¤¤ÀïÁ褬ÆüÃæ´Ö¤Ë¤Ï¤¢¤ë¡£ÎÎÅڤǤâËǰפǤ⡢Ä̲ߤǤâ¤Ê¤¤¡£¤½¤ì¤Ï¤¢¤ë¸ÀÍÕ¡ÈÆüËܻҵ´¡É¤È¤¤¤¦¸ÀÍÕ¤ò¤á¤°¤Ã¤Æ¤ÎÀïÁè¤Ç¤¢¤ë¡£

From Chinese point of view, Japanese have been devils or inhuman existence. So Chinese believed it would convey a sense of opprobrium to Japanese when they stage a demo and shout ¡ÈRiben guizi!¡É In English, it can be like ¡ÈYou Japanese are born savage!¡É

Ãæ¹ñ¿Í¤Î»ëÅÀ¤«¤é¤¹¤ë¤È¡¢ÆüËܿͤϡֵ´¡×¤Ç¤¢¤ê¡¢Èó¿Í´ÖŪÀº¿À¤ò»ý¤Ã¤¿Â¸ºß¤Ç¤¢¤ë¡£¤À¤«¤éÃæ¹ñ¿Í¤ÏÆüËܻҵ´¤È¶«¤ó¤Ç¥Ç¥â¤ò¤¹¤ë»ö¤Ç¡¢ÆüËܿͤ˶þ¿«¤ò¤â¤¿¤é¤¹»ö¤¬½ÐÍè¤ë¤È»×¤Ã¤Æ¤¤¤¿¡£±Ñ¸ì¤Ç¸À¤¦¤Ê¡Ö¤ª¤Þ¤¨¤¿¤ÁÆüËܿͤÏÌîÈڿͤÀ¡ª¡×¤È¤Ç¤â¤¤¤¦¤È¤³¤í¤À¤í¤¦¤«¡£

Although Japan and China share some letters, which are called Kanji in Japanese, Japanese had the remotest idea of what the words mean. When some computer buffs checked Wikipedia, they just managed to get what Chinese wanted to say.

A flush of spirit came up to one of them. ¡ÈWhy don¡Çt we draw a really kawaii, cute, and Moe picture and name the girl Riben guizi? We can update it on the internet so that we can eventually take over the definition of the word. Imagine thousands of Chinese presenting a mass rally and shouting her name; they are such enthusiastic funs and saying, ¡ÈWe love the cute girl!¡É

In less than fortnight, more than 150 Moe pictures were drawn by unknown Japanese artists. They were mainly drawn by those people called NEET (Not in Employment, Education, or Training) or those who profess themselves as their own home¡Çs patrolman. If you want to see some of the pictures, please visit the following website.

As they thought they needed to decide which the ¡Èofficial¡É Riben guizi is, they arranged an online-voting system and singled out a picture. For most of those who joined the movement or On-Line ¡ÈFestival¡É, it was a satisfactory outcome.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzIHEymlWOg

The very next day, one of TV News Programs in Taiwan covered it from its inception. Although there is no English subtitle, you can see the motion picture from the following address.

The news struck the ¡Èsedentary people¡É like a bolt from the blue. They did it just for fun, but it was taken up in an ordinary Taiwan News program, spending more than one minute. They were so glad, of course, but they also felt ¡ÈThere must be some other news need broadcasting, what a hell you are doing?¡Éhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzIHEymlWOg

So far, we haven¡Çt seen any Media¡Çs coverage from China, but some of NEETs in China were amazed to see the array of events. Some liked the sense of humor and started to have better opinion to Japanese, or others just criticized the ¡ÈMisunderstanding¡É of Japanese. It is natural to see mixed reaction from Chinese side.

¸½ºß¤Î¤È¤³¤í¡¢Ãæ¹ñ¦¥á¥Ç¥£¥¢¤ÎÊóÆ»¤Ï¤Ê¤¤¤Ç¤¹¤¬¡¢Ãæ¹ñ¤Î¥Ë¡¼¥È¤Ï°ìÏ¢¤Î½ÐÍè»ö¤ò¸«¤Æ¶Ã¤¤¤Æ¤¤¤Þ¤¹¡£¤³¤Î¥æ¡¼¥â¥¢¤Î¥»¥ó¥¹¤Ë¹¥´¶¤ò¼¨¤·¡¢ÆüËܤ˹¥°õ¾Ý¤ò»ý¤Ä¤è¤¦¤Ë¤Ê¤Ã¤¿¿Í¤ä¡¢ÆüËܤΡָí²ò¡×¤òÈãȽ¤¹¤ë¿Í¤â¤¤¤Þ¤·¤¿¡£Ãæ¹ñ¤«¤é»¿Èݤ¬½Ð¤ë¤Î¤Ï¤´¤¯¼«Á³¤ÎÀ®¤ê¹Ô¤­¤Ç¤Ï¤¢¤ë¤È»×¤¤¤Þ¤¹¡£

The real issue between Japan and China lies behind the reaction. In my opinion, I can mend our fence with those who could smile to see the pictures. However if the majority of Chinese brush off the sense of humor and use it negatively, I have to say it is so sad.

Down Under's Down and Under Side

Why worry about a speck in the eye of a brother when you have a board in your own?  Mathew 7-3
 
I heard mind-boggling ABC news, Australian radio news, which said, ¡ÈChina is going to seal a deal to import the meat of kangaroo from Australia.¡É  What?  If I am wrong, please correct me.  Australia is going to slaughter, process and sell the really cute indigenous animal, symbol of Australia, to China for money?  I can¡Çt accept such cruel, violent and inhumane action.  How are they killed?  How long does it take?  Are they free from pain when they are killed?
 
When I heard this news, a picture came up in my mind.  It shows some Australian high officials wine and dine Chinese mandarins.  Underneath, some kangaroos are crying and bleeding.  Behind them are some Russians pinching their noses.  Other image was that a kangaroo is to be crucified with a sign saying,¡Éhigh protein and tasty delicacy.¡É  Behind them a Roman wearing coonskin cap washing his hands, may be with vodka.  Such pictures won¡Çt  be on newspaper, but someone may edit and update some videos like that on YouTube.  It can be a splash hit.  Anything like that won¡Çt do you good from the point of public relation, so personally I would like to recommend Australia not to let it go at that.  Of course I don¡Çt mean to increase censorship but to stop the deal.
 
I am not throwing stones from a glass house.  Although Japanese whaling industry bare the blunt of criticism, it basically complies with the rules set by IWC and submits meticulous report of its investigations.  They do what they have to do.  IWC also admits or recommends making full use of the whales after the research.  On the contrary, I heard the condemned captain of Sea Shepherd was released with 5 years of suspension.  See what it means. 
 
Also I want to appreciate the input in the movie, ¡ÈCove¡É.  As the movie shared with us, there is a fact that dolphins may not be a risk-free seafood for Japanese because of the mercury contamination triggered by biological concentration.  As I was not aware of it, it was an eye-opener.  In addition, some Japanese who have eaten dolphins on a regular basis have higher mercury concentrations in their hair according to Japanese Media.  Having said that, what they eat there is, fair to say, none of their business.  It is like soda, fast food and Tobacco.  It is barely understandable if they live in the small village and worry about the collapse of healthcare system or surging medical cost in the restricted area because of mercury contamination, but they have no right to say something about it.  If people living there feel it is bad for their health, they will stop eating.  In a nutshell, just leave it as it is.  If it is for the sake of wild animal, how about kangaroo?
 
I¡Çll make a great concession; some people may say Japan and Australia are the same breed on this topic.  OK, but Australia can¡Çt criticize Japan, because we are in the same position to be stoned.  It is ugly to see a quarrel over ¡ÈWhich is more sinful?¡É between two men who are going to be executed.  At least, as far as I know, I have seen some Japanese express their anger toward Australian inconsistent behavior, but I have never seen some Japanese demonstrating against kangaroo mass killing for export (except what I am writing).  How about the counterpart¡Ä? 
 
I am not saying Japanese are right and Skippy are wrong, because we also make mistakes.  But let me say just one thing, you shouldn¡Çt shelve your own issue and turn blind eyes on it, which runs counter to common sense.
