New Orleans The Big Easy The Crescent City The, uh, place where they have all those Mardi Gras parties... So my vacation to New Orleans was interesting. If you can't afford the plane fare to get there, here's what you do: go to New Orleans Square in Disneyland. Now, replace one of the gift shops with a nudie bar. Finally, take a dumpster, and dump its contents into the sidewalk. There you go! Your own personal New Orleans! Seriously, though, unless you like drinking alcohol (unlike me) there's not a lot to do there. Pretty much all the tourist sites have been covered pretty well in all those National Geographic documentaries. If you ever wanna feel spooked, read a book about the hauntings and vampires of the city. If nothing else, it'll get you worried about those people who honestly believe they're vampires... Oh, and that beads thing that N'Awlins is so well known for isn't just contained to Mardi Gras! For those of you not entirely sure what I'm talking about, let these two lines explain it: "Throw me something, mister!" "Show me something, sister!" Oh, and one last thing: it bugged me that a non-smoking bar there got this derisive comment from somebody: "It's one of those California bars!" Believe me, if you spend ten minutes in Vegas or New Orleans, you'll be thankful for our laws, especially if you're a non-smoker (yeah, I'm a boring person- don't drink, don't smoke)! Incidentally, the bar's non-smoking because the owner's brother died as a result of second-hand smoke. Show some respect, people.
