Tacsiyapo!
Although the bad weather has kept me from taking pictures of the breathtaking landscape of northern Philippines during a business trip, I was able to take pictures of a place in Gerona, Tarlac called Isdaan. Isdaan is a floating restaurant built on fish ponds filled with what looks like cambodian or balinese sculptures and of course fish (isda).
but what made the restaurant truly unique was the Tacsiyapo wall.
a place where people release all the pent up rage by throwing ceramic tableware against a wall for a fee.
the price per throw would depend on what sort of items one would like to smash against the wall, for 12 pesos (around .25 us cents) one can throw plates, 18 Pesos for bowls and if one truly feels beyond miffed for 1000 pesos ($20) one can smash a television set towards the wall.
however one has to be careful when throwing stuff onto the wall, since the plates, mugs and other ceramic items are stratigically placed right on the front, there is a risk of taking up even more stressed if one ends up paying for collateral damage. :p

Hey Ash, yup, I took a swing off the wall with a few plates, unfortunately one of them did ricochet off the wall and broke a bowl. ^^;
