グローバルリーダー協会の齋藤信幸です。

本日から1990年以降のRonさんのビジネストリップを紹介します。

当時、日本はバブル経済が崩壊し、今では「失われた20年」と呼ばれる真空期間が始まったころです。

当時の各国と「今」を比べながらお読みになると面白いかと思います。

それにしてもRonさん、いろいろなところに行きましたね。やはりトラックのマーケットは広い。


Chapter #12: TRAVELING & TEACHING IN THE 1990'S

1990年代のビジネストリップです。すでに行った国もありますが、パプア・ニュー・ギニアなど初めての国々もあります。
1990 started with a lot of traveling to countries I have been before and a few new ones like Papua New Guinea, Chile, Paraguay, Morocco, and Sri Lanka.

Papua New Guinea

Papua New Guinea was one of the most primitive countries I have ever been to. They are still very tribal, and there is a lot of conflict there. The government bureaucracy is mostly made up of foreign personnel, as there is very little local trust. So, mostly Australians run the government and provide the technical support. In the mountains there are exportable raw materials, including crude oil, so multinational corporations have an interest there. オーストラリア人が政府を動かしていたとは知りませんでした。

Transportation between the islands is best by air. Even on a given island as the roads are not well developed, traveling by boat may be the ideal travel method.

物騒なので銃が必要
Because of security, people often have to carry a gun to insure their own safety. I gave training there in the dealership, and for the closing party, we were in a restaurant that was regularly attacked. The general manager of the dealership had to carry a gun. Every night he would also take his staff home in his car to insure they get home safely.

I spent the weekend on the general manager’s friend’s boat. He and his family live on the boat, as his yacht club is one of the safest places to be.

As you can imagine, I did not find it all that fun of a place.

Chile

Chile is a rather disciplined country for that part of the world. The economy is managed well, and it performs will in several industries and usually has enough foreign exchange to market globally. The people there are mostly from the Basque region of Spain. Also, there is a Germany community in the southern part of Chile. It is a wonderful country. I found them wonderful to work with and teach.

Sri Lanka

In spite of its continual war in the north over the years, Sri Lanka is a very friendly country. Like Indian, life is not easy, and the country is very heavily dependent on outside aid. It does have tea and other export products, but not enough to support its population and war. I was only there once and found it very similar to India.

Cameroon

Cameroon is an ex-French colony, and therefore French is the national language. I found the country rather hard to work in with all the social problems, education problems, and for me language problems. The people were friendly though.
