I got invited to a cock fight; should I go?
Basically, was at one of those places where they keep the fighting cock in a cage on the side of the road where people come by to place their bets, and after talking to the guy a bit, he said I could come along and take pics. I think he was first concerned that I was part of an NGO or something and said foreigners can't show up, LoL.
Should I take him up on his offer and check it out some weekend?

And I first thought this was going to take place in your bedroom lol
Hell I for one don't agree with it, think it is cruel. But it's one of those things you'd get to see in person. I've seen and done somethings I don't agree with just so I can say I personally experienced it.

That sounds awesome. I'd totally do it.
The cedar roasted asparagus has good chew. I don't know how to enjoy it, so I'll Instagram it instead.

While I don't agree with it I have been to one. It is an experience but not one I would like to see again.

Any budding anthropologist would give his right testicle to go to a cock fight. Go and give us a write up of the experience.

Re: I got invited to a cock fight; should I go?
been once, its bloody and not very enjoyable but interesting to see how they locals really love it
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Definitely go.
Think of it as a chicken being allowed a more gladitorial life rather than one in an industrial chicken farm.
Pretty sure they use one spike per cock.
Saw it in Manila in a nice small indoor arena, complete with electronic banners---those could be over in a minute or 15!
Hell, some of these cocks get their damn portraits painted!

I think I'll go, and report back..
Reminds me of when I was in Spain and we decided to see the bull fighting. Don't support it, but might as well check it out for the experience.
Besides, I haven't done anything cultural in a while.
