What I love IN New Orleans --- Ray


I have been here roughly two and more  months, and I love this place. I found something interested for me. I want to introduce what I met in New Orleans.

New Orleans has a difference culture with my country. Recently, I found a very interesting thing for me is the bar. The time was 3:30 am on the Frenchmen street; many people still stood on the street and talked with friends. Also, there are many people danced in the bar, when the music was started, people would have the same type of dance. It’s amazing, since I don’t know why everybody knows the songs and dancing moves. Such as the song of cupid shuffle, it’s very funny song, and I feel so embarrassed since sometime I turned the wrong side. I think music play an important comment in New Orleans.


Besides to the music and bar, I think one of my loves in New Orleans is a gallery. I cannot understand why there are many galleries here, and they are really pretty. In the photo, it is my favorite – bone rider. It’s very funny and interesting. The imaging can be concreted; I think it is a very cool thing.


The other thing I love in New Orleans is po-boy. Actually, I love to eat hamburgers until I met po-boy. It’s a really special food here, since there arer many different kind of the favors can let me choose. Also, it is really big, and I usually ate two hamburgers in Taiwan. But for this pig po-boy, It's only one can fulfill your stomach.


For food, exhibitions, and entertainment, I think here is the best place when you are looking for some place for your vacations. Since you can find po-boy, gumbo, and jampalaya, museums, and bars easily, I love this place. Hope I could find more interesting things in New Orleans.

Lots of Art to enjoy in New Orleans - Felix


During the time I have been in New Orleans, one of the things I like about their people is the passion for art. You can find a lot of art in each of its streets. Museums, antique shops, costume shops, and many art galleries.

New Orleans Museum of Art NOMA , is a place where you can always relax enjoying good art. They always make good artists exhibitions and events for the public to enjoy. When you have the opportunity to visit, you can see many tourists and people from the city.



 Julia Street is another place that I like a lot because is full of many art galleries. It is amazing the number of works of art that you can find walking by this street. Many tourists visit these art galleries every day .  

The first Saturday of each month these galleries organize an event exhibiting works of different artists, but the one that impressed me the most is the night of white linen. It´s a big celebration where all galleries exhibit their best works of art. It´s a public event where everybody wears white and walk visiting the galleries.
                                    

I also like Royal Street, there is a wide variety of art, not only paintings but also all kinds of antiques, antique furniture, antique jewelry, antique weapons and collectibles. It´s amazing the variety of art that you can find there.



 Now I understand, why New Orleans is a city of choice for tourists from around the world. Art is part of the city´s culture, and it´s a paradise for art-loving people.
