Kuantan Holiday


I like kuantan because of the beautiful scenario. I go to the seaside every morning to catch small crabs with my dad, mom and my brother ryan.

There are plenty of small little crabs wondering on the sand. The crabs will try to escape whenever we walk towards them. We catch a whole bucket of crabs within 2 hours.
