Rant: Point Lookout - Part 2

So after having terrible time fishing, I went back to the Choi Basecamp and ate some croissants with my cousins. That was one of the truly fine moments of that trip. But when I was done om nom noming the food, my mom recommended that we swim in the 'beach' that was nearby. Seeing how we had nothing else to do, we reluctantly agreed to go. But when we got to the 'beach', nature decided the F us over again.

The water was green and full of minorities. That's the first impression I got when I saw the beach. Me and my crew were dismayed at the sight. The beach was full of large pebbles and the water looked like something out of a 70's horror movie. Just as a suspected, when I first stepped on to the beach, hell awaited me. The rocks on the beach were BLOODY sharp and hot as hell. I was literally screaming and swearing until I saw my baby cousin who was 8 not complaining at all. Embarrassed, I quickly forced myself to shut my mouth, the pain continued to assault my nerves anyway.
Just about how I felt inside.
When I finally got in the water, IT WAS AS COLD AS DRY ICE STUCK INSIDE MY PANTS.  The water absolutely frigid and filled with disgusting materials that humanity has not yet invented a name for. I can almost swear that there was some kind of new lifeform being created in that biosphere. I really didn't want to get in the water to begin with, but I thought that coming all the way to point lookout and not even dipping myself in the water would be wasting money. My Asian cheapness F-ed me over again that day....
Asians are like this, only they look like Asians.
So after being contaminated by the eldritch waters of Point Lookout, we had to go to the 'Showering Facility' they had there. The place was rather run down, but looked functional from the outside, I had hoped that I could shower decently. But when I first got inside, me and my cousins discovered that there were only 2 showerheads out of 10 that were working, and that the showerheads only dispensed cold water as well. The latter fact was found out to my own surprise when I got in the shower. Actually, all three of my cousins had to shower under one showerhead because there were rotund hispanic males right next to us. And let me tell you, not that I'm a racist or anything, but it does not feel good when a large tatooed old man is right next you scrubbing his bollocks.
It can be rather detrimental to your health...
After that, the extended family had a decent Asian dinner, during while we were being feasted upon by voracious flies that inhabit the underworld that is Point Lookout, and we went out separate ways to go home. Let me tell you, this trip was definitely memorable, but not that fun. Next time, I demand I go to a place where my health isn't under immediate threat, for example, a pro starcraft match in Korea.

Rant: Point Lookout - Part 1

Over the last two days, my extended family residing in Northern Virginia went to the Point Lookout Park. I had been hoping for a little bit of fun for a LOONG time so I was really excited when I first heard the news. I had never been down there before, but according to what I heard from the good people of Bethesda studios and what they told me in Fallout 3, I was bound to have tons of fun at Point Lookout.  They told me "Point Lookout opens up a massive new area of the Wasteland – a, dark, murky swampland along the coast of Maryland. So hop on the ferry to the seaside town of Point Lookout, for the most mysterious and open-ended Fallout 3 DLC adventure yet." There were gonna be hillbilly mutants and creepy stuff galore at the park, and the entire Choi clan would have tons of fun slaughtering them! I was, of course, sorely disappointed in the end.
I thought this was what I would be doing.
It began 7 am in the morning yesterday. I woke up and brushed my teeth and got all Asian for the trip. Soon, my uncle's family came to our house and we were gonna head off. (My aunt's family left by themselves) We all got into a  minivan and had fun driving to Point Lookout. While we were on the way, we shared many stories and I learned about how Russians love eating Korean food and that the Russian Mafia can be bribed with Korean food when necessary. THIS IS VITAL INFORMATION! If you are ever cornered by Russians, offer them Korean food and they will be so grateful they will spare your life.  Well, as we got closer and closer to Point Lookout, I was beginning to get a little worried. The scenery was far too green to contain any  mutants and nothing felt creepy. In fact, I felt that we were actually going to a normal park and that everyone had lied to me...
I don't see any super mutants here...
We got to the park and I was shocked! IT WAS NORMAL! THE ONLY THING IT WAS FILLED WITH WAS WITH WAS NORMAL PEOPLE! I was so shocked that I actually forgot to complain to my family about the trip. Soon, my aunt's family came and we were having not so fun time eating Asian food in the park. Then my uncle told me that we were gonna go fishing, and that it was gonna be fun! Well, whenever your uncle tells you something will be fun, you just know it's gonna end up with someone having to go to the hospital...
Dat Uncle.
Fishing was bad... We fished jack squat while the black people right next to us were fishing them up like crazy. I don't know how, but all the fish just avoided us. MAYBE THEY WERE RACISTS! Well anyway, me and my cousin did have a crab cage and fished up some crabs so that was nice. We actually made some Crab Soup in out house today and they are ok. But you know what else we got? SUNBURNS! AGHHHH It hurts like bloody heck! While we were fishing and crabbing, the suns friggin shanked us in the back! I never knew that suns could be such a backstabbin' bastards! One moment, it's giving you solar power, the other moment, it burns you to crisp!
Apollo: His treachery knows no bounds
But oh no! This was far from the end of my troubles! What fate had in stores for me next would have almost driven me insane if it wasn't for the fact that I was already crazed from the sunburns...

TBC in Part 2...
