Chapter 885 – God of Normalization
Travel to your own country.
It is true that it is self-deprecating and has a pessimistic point of view.
─Why do Japanese kids come to Korea?
[“Irasshaimase!” Japanese tourists flock to Korea. News]
I see a lot of Japanese tourists these days
I don’t know why you’re coming
└I wonder if there is any benefit to traveling to Korea, but it’s surprising that I keep coming back.
└Isn’t there something like that in Japan? Why the fuck are you going somewhere like that?
└Asshole Viral
└Everything is backwards compatible with Tokyo, so why are you coming?
I don’t think there’s anything to see.
It doesn’t seem like a place worth paying for.
For their own people.
Although my country feels worthless.
─Why do Korean kids come to Japan?
“Korean tourists occupying Fukuoka. News]
It’s really nice that you come and spend money, but I don’t understand.
└That’s because Japan is cheap. It must feel like going to the Philippines or Thailand
└It’s a country where we don’t really have anything to sell, but they come here to spend foreign currency. Thank you so much
└Is it still worth visiting?
└It is much more beneficial than the net right-wingers who are patriotic only through the internet wwwww
Such a perspective.
It is just universal.
I know my country very well.
I think it’s normal.
As if we are not aware of the importance of air.
Buzz, buzz!
From a foreigner’s perspective?
Each one of them is unique.
It is a reason to come to this country.
Especially Korea.
It is a country full of content that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
“Is that really North Korea? The most closed dictatorship in the world?”
I can’t believe it even after seeing it.
I wonder if this is reality.
It has no choice but to be like that for foreigners.
North Korea.
We often hear about it in the news.
Now it is the only remaining trace of the Cold War.
“Really, really, it’s North Korea? It’s not like a set or a movie set or something?”
“Of course. If you look over there through a telescope.”
“?”
“You can also see North Korean soldiers.”
“?!!!”
Europe ended decades ago.
The Soviet Union collapsed, and Eastern European countries also became independent.
Russia also accepted capitalism.
It’s truly a sight you only see in history books.
‘Surprise!’
Present ongoing.
It’s even weirder if you don’t experience culture shock.
It is visible through a telescope.
Two soldiers are standing guard.
Gulp!
It’s the North Korean army.
When I look at it again and again, it still looks like a North Korean soldier.
It’s just like what you see in history books.
It is captured clearly with one’s own eyes.
“Second, second, second, you’re not going to get shot, are you?”
“Haha! I’ve been working here for decades, and I’ve never seen anything like that happen.”
Is there anything else this special in life?
Elena’s body is shaking.
It was a good thing I came to Korea.
There is no trip like this.
Such a time.
“Oh, no? Our Germany was also divided like this in the old days.”
“If I hear that one more time, it will be the hundredth time…”
It’s even more impressive.
Parents.
He is a living witness who personally experienced the era of division in Germany.
Percussion!
It’s shocking even to those parents.
Although all sorts of things happened in Germany during the Cold War.
“This is a tunnel dug by the North Korean military to invade the South. A total of four tunnels have been discovered so far, and three of them, excluding the first tunnel, can be visited by the public.”
More than that.
A scene like something out of a movie is unfolding before your eyes.
It is an underground tunnel.
It was not created by nature.
Humans, even with malicious purposes.
“Oh mein Gott!”
“Are they trying to invade Korea through here?”
“Haha, more than 40 years ago.”
It was sold.
My body is shaking terribly.
It can’t be compared to horror movies or anything like that.
This alone makes coming to Korea worthwhile.
Living may be different.
“Korea’s military power was on a different level then and now. With US troops stationed in Korea, it is virtually impossible to invade Korea.”
Koreans.
I don’t mind at all.
Walking around as if exploring a cave.
The guide also explains calmly.
That they don’t feel anxious at all.
“I thought it would be dangerous because it is a divided country…”
“Was our country dangerous in the past?”
“Well, I didn’t think much of it.”
“Then wouldn’t Korea be okay too?”
See and experience it for yourself.
Impression.
It’s more than good, it’s shocking.
Weeeing~
Electric carts move around.
A woman is selling Yakult on the street.
“Is it a moving refrigerator?”
“I’ve seen it in Korean dramas! They call me Yakult lady.”
That scene.
It’s amazing and exciting.
The Korea that appeared in dramas and movies was real.
It feels like I’m in a cyberpunk future city.
Even the waiting area for the bus.
—————————–±
『Bus Arrival Information』
1588 30 minute stop departure
1505 12 minutes Mongolia Market
2080 10 minutes Buksu-dong
1577 15 minutes Daewoo Apartment
±——————————————–
It’s a new world.
The electronic display board displays which bus will arrive in how many minutes.
‘I had to wait indefinitely without knowing when it would come…’
Korea is decades more advanced.
Things that were only imagined have become reality.
“Elena!”
“?”
“Sit down quickly. Sit down first.”
My mother also makes a fuss.
He is usually quiet and doesn’t talk much.
What was so exciting? I pounded the bench.
A metal bench with nothing special about it.
‘Huh?!’
I can’t believe it.
I wonder if I felt wrong.
Check the temperature of the bench with your hand.
“The bench is warm. Why is it like this?”
“Isn’t it fascinating?”
“If this goes on, won’t the heating bill be a lot more… Huh?”
As soon as I sit on the bench, it suddenly gets warm.
When I take off my butt, it cools down as if it never happened.
‘It doesn’t make sense.’
It’s enough to make your eyes widen.
Such an amazing thing exists as a public facility.
And it holds.
This is the part that shocks foreigners the most about Korea.
“If something like this existed in Germany, someone would have torn it down within a day. Or it would have been taken over by homeless people.”
There is no way the US and Europe are lacking in technology.
There is something similar in Germany.
But supply is a different matter.
Just like my mother said, I can guess what will happen.
“Even that Yakult lady from earlier.”
“For a woman to carry such an expensive device alone… It’s scary to even think about it.”
Target of crime.
It’s not just anxiety.
Go in with the assumption that you will be defeated.
─The Yakult lady analyzed by the New York Times
[New York Times article capture. Jpg]
Technology: Commercialization of refrigerated electric carts
Production Capacity: Enough quantity to leave a production margin
Infrastructure: cities with paved roads and spending power
Security: No problem even if a woman walks around alone
Social perception: The guy who steals the cart is the double bastard of the world
└That’s how they see it in foreign countries
└Now that I think about it, I’ve never heard of an incident involving a Yakult lady.
└Transforms when attacked
└I heard there are first-class citizens who are anxious in this country…
Not so.
This is normal here.
This is a scene that proves it.
You can see at a glance how safe and good this country is to live in.
I understand.
“I was worried about immigrating to Korea, a divided country… But seeing things like this, I can’t be against it.”
As a parent, I feel relieved.
Rather, I would like to recommend it.
Europe is becoming increasingly unstable by the day.
Women in particular are trembling with fear.
You never know when you might get caught up in a crime.
“Then you allow it?”
“I respect your decision.”
“Wow~!”
There is no need to worry about that in Korea.
I even heard that it was okay to sleep on the street.
‘I wonder if it really has to go that far.’
At least it is true that you can live with peace of mind.
It was the most important condition for immigration.
* * *
Korea.
It is difficult to find a country with greater merit as an immigration destination.
‘Because immigration is a reality.’
Like when you travel, you can’t only see the good parts.
It must be tailored to the level of the public.
“Isn’t it safe in Vietnam too?”
“In Vietnam, Thailand, Europe, and the U.S., All major city centers are safe.”
“Chii.”
It is difficult to live in a big city.
There are very few people who can afford such housing prices and prices.
‘If I had lived that well in the first place, I wouldn’t have immigrated.’
A realistic perspective is needed.
Consider what the average citizen of that country can enjoy.
Public security.
And infrastructure.
Even if you hold it in your fingers, it’s not as good as soup.
Wow~
Of course, that alone is not enough.
The human spirit cannot be filled with material alone.
“The initial settlement will be easy. But there are mountains to overcome for this country to become your second home.”
It is unlikely that the way people live will change easily.
I will miss you.
It is the so-called homesickness.
I want to go back even if it’s just because of the loneliness.
“So you are creating a special zone?”
“First of all, that’s the intent.”
A place to rely on.
A place that smells like home.
There must be at least one place in Korea.
‘Itaewon is not enough.’
It was decided to promote a multicultural special zone.
Create a city where foreigners can settle down.
It’s not easy.
If it is led by the government, it is a project that is 100% bound to fail.
“I don’t mind because I think it’s fun…”
Foreigners must want to come.
The order was entrusted to Soo-hyeon’s company.
Pursuing trendiness.
Adds a sense of freedom.
Create such an atmosphere.
‘Because culture takes root on its own.’
It’s just a design.
I don’t know what will happen.
But one thing is certain.
If this city blooms properly.
“I don’t think my brother will come forward because of things like normalizing the country, but what is his real purpose?”
“The number of cities I control is increasing.”
“Eek.”
Influences countless people.
It is the most powerful force that moves a country.
