Crab Racing?

When fellow international students (from Montreal no less) ask you if you want to go somewhere for crab racing on a Wednesday night, there is only one answer;

"YES! .... wait what's crab racing?"

This Wednesday we were determined to find out what our friends were raving about and got a group together to venture to Friend in Hand, a wacky bar in Glebe (a suburb of Sydney).

After some hula hooping and balloon popping competitions (and quite a few squirts from the water dispenser) the races were on. 

You could purchase and name a crab for $3, winning crab gamblers were rewarded with crab related swag, but only after taking part in an eating challenge of some sort. 

See the action for yourself;



As the previous owner of hermit crabs, this event touched a special place in my heart. I also have at least 2 great crab names in my back pocket which warrants my return to the Friend in Hand.

Funnily enough, this placed number 1 on Time Out Sydney's Top 10 Quirkiest Nights Out!
