Red_light * Alternative scene * Thai food

1) Red-light district

2) Alternative scene

3) Thai food take away

In many Europeans and Asian countries I lived in, these three things seem to pop up together or close by each other.

Red-light district and alternative scene are like a good buddy. Many times when I searched after a cut edge/underground musical or art scenes, I found myself near by a brothel or red-light venue. Whether you walking along langstrasse in Zurich, passing by a northern part of Brussel or hanging around Silom street in Bangkok, these relationships seem to obvious. In fact, it seems to me lately that the cities or countries which seem to be more sexually liberal or even well-known for prositutution are also tend to be full of alternative art scenes. (Think Amsterdam and Berlin)

- Could sex increase an emotional creativity?

- Does the “red-light district” decrease the rental price of the venues so the “young bohemians” have more chances to live and show their works in these venues?

- The amount of a red-light district in Stockholm is almost equal to zero. Can this explain the lack of Stockholm’s underground/ sub-culture scene?

To be a good engineer or doctor takes much time and effort. 4-10 years of school which will teach you to analyze many things to their deepest details.

To make a good food, however, might not need a person to go to school. In my opinion, with enough practice and a good sense, a person can cook a great food. It probably does not matter if you are a newly graduate from an overprice culinary college in London. Or, if you are a Thai prostitute works in a European red-light district who decides to start up a take away spot…..
