Prices in West Bank Continue to Soar; Local Employee Says Palestinians Can Hardly Make Ends Meet_我的网站
A | 这几年，打工人经历了几轮旅行演变。 之前流行特种兵旅游，主打“5天征战欧洲8国”，结果累成美丽世界的无头苍蝇；紧接着，特种应激的打工人，开始尝试彻底享受，旅游就是花钱找个度假村买服务，主打一站式出片。 但是，无论是高密度打卡还是直接躺平，对于一些最想要获得感的打工人来说，都是隔靴搔痒，如今，他们开始研究跨国学艺了。 In recent months, the prices of all basic products in Israel as well as fuel and real estate have gone through the roof, and Israelis have already started voicing their concerns. They've set up tents in the center of Tel Aviv and are planning to take to the streets on Saturday evening to vent anger at the government for failing to address their economic concerns.,A similar phenomenon is also being seen in the West Bank. In early June, Palestinians started demonstrating in several locations across the West Bank, demanding that their government tackle the soaring food prices that have gone up by 30 percent since March.,Not Able to Make Ends Meet,Nizar Nobani, a Palestinian employee of the PA security forces, is just one of many who have been feeling the sting of soaring prices.,The 49-year-old father of six rents an apartment in the West Bank city of Nablus, where he pays about $450 per month, and he says he can barely make ends meet.,"I receive some 4,000 shekels per month [roughly $1,200]. Half of my salary goes to pay for rent and various bills. The other half goes to provide food, education and clothes to my family, and this is definitely not enough," he complained.,Not long ago, the situation had not been that bad for Nobani. Before the price hikes, he admits his economic situation was bearable. He provided for his family and even managed to save some money from his monthly salary.,Now his savings are all gone. Local authorities have tried to explain to the masses that the spiraling prices were triggered by the raging hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, something that influenced the export of grain. But Nobani is certain it is only a small piece of the puzzle.,"I started noticing that the prices were going up a year ago, long before the eruption of the hostilities in Ukraine," he recalled.,"Of course, whatever is happening in the world affects us. But our financial situation has been bad even before. Part of the problem was the coronavirus pandemic. Another one was the lack of any strategic economic plan put forward by the PA. And that has made us vulnerable to new crises," he added.,Government to the Rescue?,The outbreak of COVID-19 in the Palestinian territories in March 2020 has shattered the already fragile Palestinian economy. In 2021, the PA reported that 34 percent of its population was unemployed. Poverty reached 29 percent, an eight point spike from 2016.,Israeli Parliament Rejects Bill Extending Country's Law in West Bank, Reports Say7 June, 07:07 GMT,The PA has been struggling to cope with the crisis, partially because it lacked the necessary funds; and partially due to the fact that no economic assistance has been offered to the population. The result was that people like Nobani felt helpless.,"The only thing I am getting from the government is my salary. As I am considered a government employee I am not allowed to take any odd jobs, but the government doesn't lift our salaries either, so there is a gap between what we are earning and the daily expenses that continue to rise," he lamented.,Nobani is supportive of the protests now taking place across the West Bank. Just like hundreds of thousands of other Palestinians, he wants to live in dignity. But looking at the situation now, he says his hope for a better future are slowly vanishing.,"If it continues like this, I doubt we will see an improvement. And this means that we will continue to become poorer."。
B | 图源：赵葱葱葱姜鱼 清迈，这座泰国旅游城市，正以“世界打工人兴趣班”的姿态，成为这场跨国学艺运动的宇宙中心。 所谓跨国学艺，就是利用“汇率差”进行一场文化套利，“用县城消费，学中产技能。”跟出国留学不同，跨国学艺不卷学历、不熬时长，重点全在“艺”字上——花几百块解锁一门手艺，没准还能顺带揣几张证书回家，堪称当代打工人的“海外蓝翔速成班”。 而且，还不用担心语言问题。“因为这里的课程不但便宜，而且外国人众多，老师会用最简单的词汇跟你交流，即使是四级没过，都能无痛融入。” 图源：陈小如啦啦啦 从泰拳、瑜伽到音疗冥想，从摇摆舞、银艺手作到泰餐、按摩，清迈的兴趣班早已自成宇宙。有人本想做个按摩享受，结果反手考了张按摩师证；有人抱着疗愈心态走进课堂，结业时却带走了一年的好心情。 图源：pickjoey “每天被泰拳老师揍得嗷嗷叫，但结业拿到证书那一刻，感觉每一拳都算数。” “来之前以为只是体验，走的时候才发现，这是今年最值的一笔自我投资。” 当别人还在景区人挤人，这群人已经把假期过成了“跨国进修季”。他们不追求灯红酒绿，也不执着景点打卡，唯一的目标是：在异国课堂里，修满一节又一节的技能。 以前，打工人的尽头是考证，如今打工人的尽头是环球学艺。“中产环球旅游，打工人环球学艺。大家以前是来清迈烧钱的，如今是来镀金的，区别在于，前者是消费，后者是投资。” 清迈，打工人的国际技校 当值回票价成为打工人的度假第一要义，单纯的享乐就显得有点不上进了。如今的北上广打工人，早已不满足于只是在清迈的日光下晒掉一层皮，而是悄悄在当地镀上一层金了。 有15天年假的小森，原本打算去清迈躺平，结果被种草了兴趣班上课，“10天花了4千块，该玩的没耽误，还体验了泰餐、做银饰、打泰拳和网球课，比旅游项目还精彩。” 图源：jancouopo 清迈就像是打工人的中产生活主题环球乐园。打铁、冥想、网球、潜水、织布、按摩……从手冲咖啡到生态务农，只有你想不到，没有它开不出的班。 而且，这些项目多是些“无用之用”的体验，就像红酒品鉴一样，重点不在于学会什么硬技能，而在于获得一份可供分享的谈资。
C | 它们与学做PPT的本质区别在于，前者是为了生活，后者是为了生存。“即便离开了清迈，你也可以轻描淡写地跟朋友聊起，在当地庄园烘豆子的那个下午。”小森补充说。 图源：防沉迷系统 而且，价格优势明显，“花个美甲钱，就能跟着本地泰厨奶奶从菜市场学到餐桌；用北京半节私教课的费用，直接解锁带国际认证的泰拳课。而一些本地主流课程，比如泰拳、泰餐、瑜伽之类的，教学质量甚至都比国内更好。” 甚至对于有些人来说，这里的体验还真能“变现”。有人来清迈进修半个月泰餐，就回老家开了泰餐厅，“本来心里没底，现在好歹能说自己是清迈学成归来的主理人。
D | ”小森说。 都说人生陷入绝境时，大家就会开始学英语和运动，而清迈就是年轻人的重启人生基地，加上免签政策加持，飞往此地的航班，载着的不再是单纯度假的人，而是一群渴望被治愈的打工人。有人裸辞来学语言，有人每年定期来“充电”，更有人只是想打打铁、种种菜、穿着麻质衣服，通过跨国轻体力，找回一点生活的初心。 以前去海岛，是为了逃离工作，现在大家去清迈，是为了来上短期夏令营。
E | “上午去山里做冥想、下午打网球、晚上喝自己做的康普茶，这不只是度假，是打工人最低成本的富养自己。
F | ” 为什么打工人开始去泰国学艺 高价度假村的本质，就是把舒服的大床和兴趣班打包卖给你。既然如此，不如自己动手把价格打下来——去清迈单买兴趣班，把五星级的体验拆成散装白菜价。
G | “如今说去东南亚旅游已经没啥稀奇了，但是如果你说自己去学织布，就显得全是道道了。就像梁朝伟飞去伦敦喂鸽子，明明舟车劳顿，做的却是一件再寻常不过的小事，这就叫做漫不经心的精致。”小森调侃道，“在这里，你花的每一分钱都不是消费，而是对自己的投资，总会来某些时候，看得见回报。” 前段时间，刚在清迈体验过众多兴趣班的Whittnet告诉我，最值得体验的当属泰拳，“国内一节私教课动辄3、4百，在这里花不到100块就能上一节课。
H | 教练会不断鼓励你，帮你去调整动作。在不断挥拳的过程中，自己好像也完成了对那些讨厌事物的反抗，打完会觉得特别爽。” 图源：爱讲大实话的橙（GAP版） 这种带着痛感的体验，正在成为年轻人最新的精神马杀鸡。第一次在泰拳课上被摔得七荤八素，第一次用当地食材做出黑暗料理，第一次在攀岩墙上双腿发抖……这些狼狈的瞬间，反而比任何网红景点都让人上头。 “上了2节泰拳课，我已经掌握了基本的进攻和防守拳法，开始尝试结合到实战中。”Whittnet补充说，“泰拳强调在动态平衡中灵活出拳，很锻炼身体的稳定性和反应能力，对日常生活也很有帮助。” 图源：陈小如啦啦啦 在清迈做地接的阿达观察到，“这半年，来清迈上短期课程的中国年轻人，明显增多，以前都是包车去景区，现在大家拼车到校区。他们学得特别认真，很多人提前自学英语，就为了能更高效地和老师同学交流。” 除了实打实的升级技能，清迈兴趣班还是难得的社交场所，“当你和德国建筑师一起捏陶，和澳洲程序员一起做冬阴功，你就懂了清迈兴趣班的含金量了，这是打工人最低成本的跨国交流。
I | ”沪漂小鱼告诉我，“大家因为同一个兴趣坐在一起，比在青年旅社里硬聊自然多了。” 清迈，打工人的康养基地 有人说，清迈提供的不是兴趣班，而是专供打工人的“康养套餐”。“来这里，看似是紧锣密鼓地学习，实则是分秒必争的休息。” 沪漂陈默调侃说自己是在上海敲键盘，来清迈敲银子，但是前者是焦虑，后者是放松，“当银丝在指尖缠绕成戒圈，我才悟了，治愈精神内耗的，不是升职加薪，而是专注打银的3个小时。” 而清迈当地最火的冥想课，也成了不少年轻人扎堆的地方。 Whittnet上的是免费半日冥想课，“虽然比较基础，但我很喜欢僧侣对谈环节。僧侣们对五花八门的问题都很耐心。来参加的人半数以上是国际游客，大家都是为了换个环境释放压力。” 当然，短期课程的质量难免参差。Whittnet提到自己的一次音疗体验：“第一次体验时，某些频率的声音反而激起了我的焦虑。但后来在瑜伽课上听到的颂钵就感觉从脚趾头爽到了天灵盖，后背都跟着发颤。这种体验很个人，需要找到适合自己的疗愈方式。” 图源：爱讲大实话的橙（GAP版） 安全则是更现实的考量。小森提醒，兴趣班本质是文旅体验，和玩跳伞、潜水一样：“要评估身体能否承受运动强度，社交中也需保持警觉。特别是女生，遇到不舒服的搭讪要果断拒绝。” 图源：saytome 当然，在清迈一旦开始这种兴趣班生活，你会发现，很多时候的预警，都会迅速让位于一种纯粹的共鸣，“因为太好玩！”小森说，“简单来说就是，你可以用很小的成本，体验一把‘像样的生活’。
J | ” ENDING： 如今在网上，单纯的游玩攻略早已失去吸引力。在无数次抵达东南亚后，年轻人开始用兴趣反向爆改这些旅游城市，巴厘岛是“体校”，普吉岛是“武校”，而清迈，则稳坐文科进修班的头把交椅。
K | 比起city walk，跨国学艺的魅力明显更大，“当旅行结束，证书和手艺，成了年轻人最值回票价的特产。” 本文来自微信公众号：三联生活实验室，作者：傻狍子。
