Strawberry picking

It's been a very long while since I last updated and stuff did happen, that's why I didn't update! Duh! On June 23rd, my father brought me to pick strawberries all the way down south in Westhampton or something like that, near Delta. It was quite a lot of work going down on your knees just to find them. I thought they would look a little taller but there they are... It's probably a killer for strawberry-pickers to do this job...
Just rows and rows of them...
And from an upclose view of the plant...
After a grueling hour in the sun, i got my strawberries =]... Some were sweet and some were sour... A lot of people come out to the farms to do this apparently... You pick them yourself and you pay like $2 per pound which I guess is not that bad... Apparently, if you don't wash the pre-packaged strawberries, you just might get E.coli because the farm workers who take a crap out in the fields don't wash after. So... yeah...

After picking, we watched Sharkwater. I suggest everyone watch it because you never know the extent of problems until you watch it with your own eyes. What those people do to sharks is terrible... and so sad... It's not going to stop if this billion-dollar industry doesn't stop! Anyway, watch it! and you'll know what I mean...Ice-cream time! We went to this place which had like 218 flavours. (I know it looks like a Chinese place but it's NOT! It's owned by an Italian) But I guess he's smart to put Chinese characters to attract the Chinese market since Vancouver is full of them!

Okay. this is just one of the events that went on 2 weeks ago. I will be back to write more when I actually have time.

Toodles!
