Hello, this is Kumi. 🙂
I went to Patpong to watch a professional wrestling show at Jan 6th.

What is Patpong street?

　Patpong (Thai: พัฒน์พงศ์, RTGS: Phat Phong) is an entertainment district in Bangkok, Thailand, catering mainly, though not exclusively, to foreign tourists and expatriates. While Patpong is internationally known as a red light district at the heart of Bangkok’s sex industry, it is in fact only one of numerous red-light districts some catering primarily to Thai men and some others, like Patpong, catering primarily to foreigners.
A busy night market aimed at tourists is also located in Patpong.Patpong – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It’s like an entertainment district… a red‐light district? wow.

I got to know Fugo Fugo Yumeji san, who is a famous professional wrestler and had the show, at a meeting about Viet Nam.

Yumeji san is the Vovinam master, which is one of mixed martial arts born in Viet Nam.
My image of him is, very tender and thoughtful.

I could learn about attitudes toward work so much from him, that makes me look back myself.
