OCE 2

During one of my visits to some of the festivals this year, I had gone to one that spoke to me: the Asian Festival. However, even though I did feel that this festival in my soul, it was not because of the fun, but because of the horrible experience I recall seeing the various booths and oceans of people waiting in lines. Whoever coordinated this event should have been sued, honestly, since it did no one a favor waiting in one line for some overpriced desserts, dishes, and pathetic attitude and mockery the cashiers and cooks had treated the people who waited hours in line for. The Howard County fairgrounds was meant to handle a lot of people but seeing as how the event was organized, clearly this was a disorganized event in general. I personally waited one whole hour just to get to a tent that was not even the right one because the line roped to a different one in an S pattern. For one line, it took 2 hours average, seeing as how when I made it to the cashier, the friends that were spread out also reported finally reaching the line at the end. I truly feel bad for everyone who had to endure that entire ordeal. Not even the Korean festivals were this crowded and it was strange at how people still stood in line for this event. There were Asian performers who danced and sang their ethnic music. Some of them were Kpop, some of them were Filipino traditional, some of them were Chinese dragon dancers and those were actually cool to watch, but due to the result of the event, people were more grumpy than impressed at the dude who did two backflips for his stage performance while singing.
