I want to know for Japan in the coming future reality of a disparate society in Central and South America
"An annual income of 1 million yen can not be helped anymoreIt is calledUNIQLO Yanai's words are topicsbecame. This is a story saying "In the future, the annual salary is divided into 100 million yen or 1 million yen, the middle class is decreasing", but the difference between the rich and the poor was showing to Central America. The number of murders in Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras is not extraordinary. It is a job to hold a shotgun with a single blow and guard the front of the shop. I was surprised to enter Nicaragua in such a tense feeling. Although it should be the poorest country in the region, it is rather calm.
Hello,Takuya Sudo @ circle around the world bicycle @ Charridermanis. "Mexico was a dangerous country as the rumor "Shura no kuni""I touched about the difference between rich and poor, but the countries of Central America that are south of Mexico are even shocking. I was not familiar with the life surrounded by guns and cages.
Wikipedia's "Country's Gross Domestic Product ListLooking at the per capita GDP (US dollar notation) of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) statistics, the numbers in the countries of Latin America are like this.
Mexico ($ 12,47)
Belize ($ 4536)
Guatemala ($ 3302)
El Salvador ($ 3823)
Honduras ($ 2243)
Nicaragua ($ 1757)
Costa Rica ($ 9673)
Panama ($ 9919)
The poorest country is Nicaragua. For reference, Japan is $ 47,636.
◆ As you go south
In Canada, "like taking care in the US", in the United States "carefully in Mexico", in Mexico "in Guatemala watch out" About this kind of feeling, and the atmosphere actually got worse . Mexico was still distinguished between safe and dangerous places, but Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras were regularly concerned with guns and iron gates and were always worried. In Belize's cafeteria, there is a grill between the counter and the audience seating. The shops in Guatemala were isolated by iron bars and there was something we could not touch even the sale. Not only banks and pawnbrokers, but also a supermarket, a gas station, a pharmacy, a tool shop had a men with shotguns and I was nervous.
In the counter of the shop in Takeaway in Belize is a grill of iron.
Beer came out from a grill of iron even in the bar of El Salvador.
In El Salvador, two young people put their hands on the wall in front of a big store and they were being interrogated by a soldier who had a gun in hand. People who wait for the bus with a strange face though such tense interaction is done behind the scenes. An answer that I did not expect as "I also saw it several times" when I talked to a Japanese traveler who happened to meet in Nicaragua. The scene of interrogation in El Salvador may be everyday indefinitely.
Cathedral of the capital city of San Salvador (Cathedral).
The outskirts of San Salvador were heavy traffic volumes.
In Honduras, there was a couple of men who were filled with holes and buried holes with soil. Because I do not have a job, I am working to arbitrarily pray for money from toll vehicles. Even if you neglect that a bicycle can be avoided even if there is a hole, I am afraid because my arms will stretch out with blood-sweet eyes saying "Please give me money." Several groups did the same thing.
Road where repair can not be fully reached.
Country house.
Because it was just such a place, I got nervous and entered Nicaragua.Information on Japanese chariders being attackedThere is also. Just arrived in the first city, I was surprised at the time being relaxed. There is no figure of a security guard with a gun. This relaxation turns into conviction at Chinadega (Tinandega), Leon (Leon). Because he is sitting at the roadside end of the market by tapping the wagon as "Grandpa, exchange is OK" China. When I asked "Do not be dangerous" on an unbelievable sight, he told me "Ichigo, I got a handgun," after laughing as "little bit ne".
Security guards at banks and supermarkets also carry handguns, but they do not always have shotguns as in the past. The grandmother accounting and the dining room where desk drawers are substituting for cash register was also impressive. Compared with the past, it seemed to be attacked easily. On the blog of those living in Nicaragua "Guatemala and Elsal are scaryThere is also an article saying, please read it for reference.
The city that first entered in Nicaragua.
Tinandega market.
Leon's supermarket.
Go up the pass of about 900 m.
Nicaragua was the biggest carriage in Central America.
A shop without a grid of iron.
There are a lot of wind power generation along the southern Nicaragua lake.
Baseball stadium was also popular in Nicaragua as baseball is prosperous.
Cathedral of Rivas.
Looking at the overseas safety website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Nicaragua is definitely not safe.
·Guatemala
(1) In Guatemala, although there is no political turmoil, there are sporadic occurrences nationwide in democracies, seeking improvement of security situation and against price rising of daily necessities. In addition, general crimes occur frequently, especially in the capital city of Guatemala, and the murder case in 2012 is 5,155, security is still in a serious situation.
(2) The number of homicide victims in 2012 has declined by 40% or more to 2,576 from 4,371 in 2011. However, crime such as murder, robbery, kidnapping, extortion, assault, sexual crime, snatching, drug trafficking etc. occurs frequently, mainly in urban areas. In addition, in the area where the number of police officers and equipment is delayed, security may not be sufficiently maintained, so those who are planning to travel or stay will not be noticeable, and behavior will not be predicted Take measures to avoid getting involved in crime, such as striving to obtain the latest security information. Generally, pedestrians tend to suffer from crime, so when moving, we recommend using vehicles at short distance.
(2) In Honduras, there are many violent offenses such as homicide, robbery, kidnapping, etc., and it is in a situation where there is no braking on security deterioration. According to the statistics of the National Police, the death toll from the murder of 2011 was 7,104 people, which increased by 868 from the previous year, the United Nations announced in October 2011 that the murder incidence per 100,000 was 82.1 people ) And has recorded the world's worst.
(2) The number of crimes perceived in 2011 as announced by the National Police is 150 thousand 1,274, which is on a downward trend, down 6.5% from the previous year, but it is still at a high level. Especially violent crimes such as violent murder, robbery, rape and the like by firearms and others are continuing, and concern about deterioration of security is concerned. Also, until now, crime has concentrated in the capital Managua, but in recent years it has also spread to Masaya, Granada, León and others near the capital.
However, Wikipedia's "Murder incidence per 100,000 populationBy quoting the data of the homicide incidence and the total number per 100 thousand people
Mexico (22.7, 25, 757)
Belize (41.4, 129)
Guatemala (38.5, 5, 681)
El Salvador (69.2, 4, 308)
Honduras (91.6, 7, 104)
Nicaragua (13.6, 785)
Costa Rica (10.0, 474)
Panama (21.6, 759)
Japan (0.4, 506)
So the value of Nicaragua is very low.
Murder incidence per 100,000 populationEven if you look at it by city, there are no cities in Nicaragua as Latin American cities such as Mexico and Brazil celebrate their names.
This includesrevolutionIt seemed like there was a reason.
◆ The revolution of Nicaragua
In Nicaragua, the Somoza family continued dictatorship,The Sandinista RevolutionIt will happen and the administration will change. It was a socialist revolution affected by the Cuban revolution. However, after the revolution rebel factions will be guerrilla and will enter into a long civil war. This Nicaraguan civil war was also a surrogate war of the USSR that was affected by the Cold War. During the Cold War there is a civil war between Guatemala and El Salvador with right wing and left wing. Through this revolution and civil war, the Nicaraguan economy collapsed.
At the conclusion of the Cold War, the civil war in Nicaragua is over. Democratic elections were held from 1990 and led the revolutionary government in 2006Daniel OrtegaCame back to the President and was reelected in 2011. This Ortega regime has a close relationship with the leftist regime in Latin America such as Cuba, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia.
A sign of 2009 celebrating 30 years from the revolution.
The sign of President Ortega is surprisingly pink.
Wikipedia's "Country's income disparity listQuoting the data, the income ratio of the wealthiest and the poorest people when classifying all households into five classes of income is like this. The figures behind the country name are income ratios for the top 10% of the wealthy people in the lower 10% of the poor, income ratios for the top 20% of the wealthy people lower 20% of the poor, the survey year. The bigger the number, the stronger the difference between rich and poor.
Mexico (21.6, 12.8, 2008)
Guatemala (33.9, 20.3, 2006)
El Salvador (38.6, 20.9, 2009)
Honduras (59.4, 17.2, 2009)
Nicaragua (31.0, 8.8 2005)
Costa Rica (23.4, 15.6, 2009)
Panama (49.9, 23.9, 2010)
Japan (4.5, 3.4 2002)
Income disparities in Nicaragua are getting smaller due to a series of confusion. Nicaragua should have developed further than now unless a revolution or civil war has occurred, in that case, it may have been a dangerous country with a high murder rate with the difference of rich and poor just like other Central American countries I do not.
◆ I am developing, but ...
Central America is by no means poor. Even the poorest Nicaragua in the area was developing more than East African honor student Kenya. There is no blackout or waterfall, there is a supermarket in the city. However, the gap between rich and poor was intense, and some people lived in the barracks. With this difference of rich and poor, in El SalvadorMauricio FunethLeft the administration, and in Honduras it was lost due to the military coup d'etat, but also to the leftManuel · CelayaHe was in power. Incidentally, when coming to Costa Rica, Panama, the atmosphere will be much calmer.
Shopping malls to a remote place in northern Guatemala.
A nice hotel restaurant looks like this.
This was also a mall and it was a building of a huge second hand (second hand) shop.
There are Mister Donuts in El Salvador.
Local fast food.
Wal - mart was also open on the outskirts of San Salvador in the capital.
I hope that the benefits of development will extend to all citizens, but I do not see it. People left behind in this way went out to exercise their abilities and were demonstrating the blockade of the highway. It is an event in Guatemala following Mexico. Last time I was able to get through, but this time I am stuck. Someone who said "I will finish in one hour" has a voiced voice, I did it all the while until the end of the day.
Burning the tires and interfering with traffic vehicles.
Voices of many men.
A vehicle that can not move.
I felt that traveling from Belize to Panama and traveling to Central America "As the gap widens, the danger increases." Brazil, which refrains from the World Cup and the Olympic Games, seems to be similar. Even in Brazil the left wing is responsible for the administration. Japan is in talks to participate in the TPP (Pacific Rim Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement), but it is a bit uneasy that the United States will be close. Because there is such a reality in Latin America also called "backyard of America".
