Crabbing..

One thing I have been looking forward to in my stay here in Vancouver is crabbing. I have heard a lot of great things about this pastime in BC and everyone who does this seems to love it! My uncle used to go to the beach a lot to set up his traps. He made his own crab traps you see. And he made a little money out of them too as everyone uses the same style of traps that he used to make. Some people even came to him to buy some of them. He does not do that anymore though.

So this morning, my uncle and I went to Jericho beach. He also let me drive his car so I can adapt to the way of driving here before I take my tests for my BC driver's license. It was early in the morning, pretty cold and not many people were awake so the roads were still pretty empty. Pretty nice start for my Saunday eh?

We got there at around 6:45am so we had about an hour to catch some crabs and go back home because my aunt will be using the car at 8. There was one Asian guy with crab traps setup on the dock too. We brought home only two crabs, even if a lot of crabs were caught in the traps, as there is a regulation on the size of crabs that one can bring home.

I spent the rest of the day eating, watching movies and playing cards. Now I'm alone in my room again and just clicking away on my laptop. Crabbing was the highlight of my day. I'm putting a check on that one on my to-do-in-Vancouver list. What's next?

I predict it will be... clubbing. :p We'll see.
