The policy of Oranges and Clothing is doing in the reverse order which is possible in a country where immigrants become scapegoats. But, in a country where there is no reliance on immigrants they go the hard way - first earning through ordeal and then getting recognised.

But if your the sort who once there goes out and mixes in the culture that the country you are visiting, then the effects usually are alot more profound for two reasons (my theory)
