A Japanese diplomat is visiting Albania and is being driven around by his Albanian counterpart to show off the country’s progress. They drive down a brand-new road that’s noticeably narrow—barely enough for one car.
The Japanese diplomat, puzzled, gently nudges the Albanian politician and says: “In Japan, when we tender a contract for a 3-meter-wide road, we plan and build it exactly 3 meters wide. But sometimes the contractor might quietly shave off one or two centimeters from each side and pocket the savings on materials. It’s small-scale corruption, but that’s how it works.”
The Albanian diplomat, unimpressed with the story of the Japanese diplomat, smiles proudly and replies: “Ah, in Albania it’s different. When we plan a 3-meter road, we shave off 1 whole meter from each side!”
