Aio World Shrimp Catching Contest

The small seaside town of Aio invites a few foreigners every year to take part in their shrimp catching contest. This is the only way they can call it a "World" Contest. You're given a net bag and white gloves and dash into the seA where they have released hundreds of shrimp. You use your index finger to dig around in the sand and hook the little buggers. Afterwards you head back to the beach and cook your catch on the bbq.

The world champion caught around 70 or 80 shrimp. I managed a measely 11 but when you compare it to the other foreigners (0-4 on average) I did very well. Was also interviewed on TV with my awful Japanese.
