Smart Pakistani People, Skillfully Distinguishing ‘Real’ Chinese People, Korean and Japanese Tourists Face New Difficulties
Pakistan is not a developed country, but with China's massive aid in recent years, infrastructure has gradually begun to improve. This has led to many Chinese and foreigners starting to have expectations. Therefore, some 'adventurers' have embarked on their Pakistan journeys. However, with the influx of many tourists, many misunderstandings have occurred. Of course, not everything is so wonderful, and there are also disgusting things.
First of all, the recent incidents involving Korean and Japanese tourists deceiving Pakistani people have caused a very bad impact, which has had many irreversible effects on the image of Chinese people. Fortunately, 'Ba Tie' (a common term for Chinese tourists in Pakistan) was quite generous and was tricked once or twice, and was willing to believe it. But if this continues for a long time, the Pakistani people will also complain. The main problem is how to quickly identify whether they are Chinese or from other Asian countries. In one travelogue, a Japanese friend shared his amazing experience.
This Japanese friend saw many phenomena upon arriving in Pakistan that he couldn't understand. Chinese tourists were given free gifts at the hotel, and the service attitude was also very good. When buying things, they were often haggled by the vendors. Driven by curiosity, he decided to question the tour guide. In fact, he knew why Chinese people were treated well in Pakistan, but what he didn't understand was that they had the same appearance and didn't speak before entering. He was 'bluntly' rejected. After apologizing and explaining the purpose of doing so, the tour guide began to carefully answer his questions. The first question: Chinese people walk in a different way than Japanese people. Secondly, Chinese people generally nod their heads instinctively to say 'thank you', while Japanese and Koreans bow. The second question was quite embarrassing: the average height of Chinese people is higher than that of Japanese people.
'Ba Tie' is a very clever and observant term. Through details, they accurately identified the real Chinese. However, if you are traveling to Pakistan, especially male homosexuals, do not randomly shake hands with strangers. Because of the differences in religious beliefs, if you invite a woman to shake hands with you, it's equivalent to saying 'marry me?' Of course, people generally refuse, but this approach is impolite, and while enjoying life, you must also respect local customs and cultures.
