Don't move! Hand in your cell phone!
"Don't move! Hand in your cell phone! "That's probably the most annoying thing we've heard in Peru, and today we're here to nag about this repugnant robbery, one of the social ills that exists in Latin American countries.
At first glance, listening to the old overseas Chinese talk about their own experiences, often with a sentence "I have not encountered this thing, indicating that you are in Latin America for a short time." "As the end." Perhaps indeed the time is not long, small editor has not encountered "robbery" this thing, with a shy mood has been early backup of mobile phone data and replacement equipment, for this may come to the "Latin American adult ceremony" to do some preparation.
The above feeling is half-joking and half-serious, but one thing you have to be sure, a price of 5, 6 thousand, or even tens of thousands of smartphones, in Peru is absolutely valuable items, such as this small value of high-convenience things, robbers are very fond of.
In addition, there are several reasons involved:
First, the average monthly income of ordinary latin American households is not high, may add up to 3-4 thousand sols is good, and usually bring less money on the body, compared to if there is a seemingly worthy mobile phone, it is easy to be targeted; This makes the value attribute of mobile phone more obvious; third, the previous said the income situation of the local people, then relatively speaking, the average salary of the Chinese people will be higher, and then the Chinese people in the spirit of "more than one thing less than less, money is not more important than life" idea, encountered this situation is very "clear", often become the first choice for robbers ...
Lin Lin always has a lot of reasons, which makes mobile phones become the first choice for robbery is really annoying and helpless things. For us, the real value of a mobile phone is more important than the machine itself, but the information and materials stored inside. There is always too late to back up, there is always a hundred secret one-off situation, such as if the real encounter with the mobile phone was robbed of this kind of bad thing, will certainly be angry ä¼› days!
So, let's briefly explore why this kind of thing can't be forbidden. Is it the Peruvian government that doesn't care?
The answer is yes, but management capacity is limited. This mainly relates to the colonial history of such a "banana republic" as Peru, even if rid of Spain's colonial claws, but a hundred years of colonial history has been too much association of language, political structure and social form, and Spain, a typical European country's political philosophy is "democracy", the form of "power-between checks and balances", you look at Spain this play to now, the country's overall economic situation and social security is not the same, master, How much can you expect these crushed apprentices in Latin America to be able to do that?
Peru's political environment is typical, a prominent feature is "noisy", which is not a while ago for the president's impeachment case has not yet come down the table, has not nagging clearly, this time jumped out again, said there is a new explosion, and then impeachment! True MD is...
The upper-level tyrinists of government organizations are so out of control that you can imagine what's going on inside the organization, the cadres, officials and officers at the lower and middle levels. I think government organizations and enterprises, enterprises talk about corporate culture, the government talks about political ideas, Peruvian officials if there is no noble political ideas and pursuits, can not be corrupt on the ghost!
Peruvian official: You're telling us we don't believe? Wrong! We believe in God, but God didn't say we couldn't be corrupt! You said I did something wrong? Well, shallow, don't you know that money can buy atonement papers! As the coin bell rang, the sin was written off. God will forgive me!
Peru's government organizations and local departments can manage the face, the management of a general, but the lack of deep-seated grass-roots penetration and communication with the masses. The rich, the powerful, the international tourists live and often travel to and from the area to send more police to maintain order, law and order will be good, you will see people at zero o'clock on the road hanging out Happy (refers to the usual). Elsewhere, the population is complex and remote, the government has a weak heart and lack of motivation to rectify, the security is relatively poor, so it is a fallacy to say that Latin America's security is poor. So directly can reply, XXX night slip a circle, you can not be hairless out to calculate my loss / smile face.
Peruvian Magistrate: You asked me what I didn't care about. What good would I get from doing this? People are going to just eat ah, people that is also a way of life, I have nothing to provoke them why? How long can I still be a government official do not know, when I step down, they will not come to me? What to clean up, make money is the right thing to do!
So we went back to the reality of our discussion. If one day, which hapless robber robbed a well-known figure, sent a TWITTER scolding sentence: "WTF! The security in Peru is so bad! "Peruvian officials look at this may affect Peru's international image and international tourism revenue, that needs to respond positively, focus on rectifying it!"
Re-movement and re-consolidation is always local, is superficial, this is a short-term reality. It is especially important for us foreigners to figure out which areas and time periods are safe.
Besides, have you ever had anything bad in Peru? Sunday leisure, it is better for us to blow up each other's black material in the mountains! The little bench has been moved!
