Interview with cartoonist Ted Rall, who has traveled to South Asia recently,
|
|
and has tips on how to deal with bribe-hungry border guards and the like:
|
|
|
|
Rall: Now I realize that's just the way it is, and I know how to do it and
|
|
get away without paying a bribe, or paying something very modest. You have
|
|
to show them that you know the routine and that you know you don't have to
|
|
give them anything, and just have a low-key demeanor. But if you get angry,
|
|
that's just going to make things worse for you. You get out of your vehicle
|
|
and you walk up to them -- you don't try to avoid these guys; you don't try
|
|
to avoid their eyes -- you go up with a big smile, give them a big
|
|
handshake and sort of rub their shoulders and say, "Hey, great to see you.
|
|
You're my new best friend for the next five minutes."
|
|
|
|
GROTH: Basically act like a used car salesman.
|
|
|
|
RALL: It's exactly like that! You always carry cigarettes. You offer them a
|
|
cigarette, and you say, "Hey, what's goin' on? How's it goin'? Great.
|
|
Here's my documents. How's the road?" Just small talk, because these guys
|
|
are bored. They're in the middle of nowhere, and you're sometimes the only
|
|
vehicle they've seen for many hours. They're often very drunk, so you just
|
|
have to be cool.
