(A little something extra)
If you come to New Orleans, you better say it right. It's pronounced "New Or-Le-ans." No one here says "New Orleens" unless they are writing a song or they want a butt kickin'.
It's hot. It's humid. It rains. Those are the only 3 weather patterns we have here.
No one eats healthy. Fried Batter is actually a menu item in some restaurants.
Giving directions to a non-local in New Orleans is a waste of time. Ever street intersects with each other. No two streets run parallel to another. The West Bank is actually east of the city. It would take too long to explain. One out of three street names are impossible to pronounce unless you were born in New Orleans, or you are a cajun.
If the levee breaks, everyone here will die. No one seem worried abou this.
There are 365 days in the year. There are 414 parties/festivals in New Orleans. That's just on a slow month.
Louisiana Driving Rules
1. A right lane construction closure is just a game to see how many people can cut in line by passing you n the right as you sit in the left lane waiting for the same drivers to squeeze their way back in before hitting the orange construction barrels.
2. Turn signals will give away your next move. A real Louisiana driver never uses them. Use of them in New Orleans may be illegal.
3. Crossing two or more lanes in a single lane-change is considered "going with the flow"
4. Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive body work.
