This by far has got to be one of the coolest ideas ever! (Joel, I hope you don't mind me snatching your pictures. Peace hombre!)
On the way down from Baguio the other day, me and a couple of my best buds decided to stop by this restaurant my brother mentioned to me a few days back. It's a place called "Isdaan" in Tarlac, ten minutes away from Luisita (give or take a few minutes). Like the name suggests, it IS a restaurant with a fish pond. Diners eat in cottages floating in the middle of the ponds (ponds, pens, tanks, whatever you call those things!) and from time to time get visited by mariachis who sing songs. And that's not even half it!
At the corner of the place stands a wall with words written on it. Ex wife/husband, Current wife/husband, Ex-boyfriend/girlfriend, boss, Professor, Ailments just to name a few. And right in front of it is a mountain of little bits and pieces of porcelain, plastic and a couple of casings of television sets. It didn't take a second for me to realize the concept of the wall.
It's the "Tacsiyapo!" wall. This is the place where you get to buy objects from the restaurant, scream the word "Tacsiyapo!" and then throw it at the person on the wall that you were aiming for. Objects like mugs, saucers, plates, pitchers, wall clocks and even a fully functional TV set worth one thousand six hundred pesos could be bought provided you don't bring them home --you really HAVE to throw it.
Me and my friends tried it ourselves and found it very very therapeutic. I think I must have bought myself 4 plates and 3 coffee mugs to throw at the wall!
Was it a waste of money? Definitely. Was it a sh*tload of fun? You bet your ass it was.
And besides, how would YOU like it if I threw coffee mugs at you instead?
AND! On a side note, Migz won us a kilo of catfish carrying a pail of water while crossing the pond on a small strip of cement while a giant monkey was spewing a jet of water at him.
That was some good catfish Migz.
