Smashing Building for Stress Relief

More than 40 stressed-out workers in Madrid were given the opportunity to hammer a hotel before it is renovated. More than 1000 volunteers had written to NH hotels describing the stressfulness of their lives. 100 finalists were chosen and then each of them had to perform a psychological test. Once they were allowed in the hotel to destroy it they were elated and began running from room to room smashing doors, walls, and t.v. sets. Many of the workers admitted after that it was a very good stress-relief therapy. 
I was looking up current events in spanish countries and scanned across this and was like yeah this is the one! This sounds like a GREAT idea! I have a lot of built up stress and I think that would make me and probably a lot of other people feel a lot better if we were given that same opportunity. I wonder how that works with people getting hurt while doing it though. I'm not sure they would let us do this in America without at least signing some legal document. Bummer.


This week in Spanish we learned how to say that we are doing activities, sports, and going to certain places. This is a lot of different words to memorize but I feel like this part in the class is going to be most useful. If you wanted to have a casual conversation with someone you would want to be able to tell them about what you do or what you are going to do.

  1. I agree with you, this sounds like a fantastic idea! I wish I could smash things up to relieve myself from stress, especially from school and work. I might be even more drained afterward though!
