New Orleans

[Panda]

Mmmm German chocolate is the shit. Never had swiss chocolate. I do luv me sum swiss cheese though.

I visited Germany and tried some of the chocolate candy over there. I didn't like it all that much, but I'm really picky about candy. I only seem to like dark chocolate covered cherries, fudge, and Andes mints occasionally. They don't taste good if you eat them too often or too quickly.

tell me quietly so gota cant hear ^^

Lol. I've visited prettier places than New Orleans. There are some interesting looking buildings there, lovely gardens, and a lot of decorative plants. I would like to visit the Audubon Aquarium again to see if there are any really cute Cuttlefish there like this one:

They look like little flying carpets.

I would also like to see the Insectarium, North America's largest museum devoted to insects along with the Asian butterfly garden.

They have places where you can touch bugs and feed sting rays at these attractions.

While visiting New Orleans once before, I saw a show of funny street performers doing acrobats and they let some of the audience participate by lining about 8 of them up and doing a flip over all of them at once. They would also walk or jump on their hands down cement stairs, dance, and make jokes.

Other attractions include a horse-drawn buggy tour where they will show you haunted houses and haunted above ground grave cemeteries. If you want to learn about Voodoo, New Orleans has the historic Voodoo museum that you can visit where you can learn all about the history and folklore of rituals, zombies, gris-gris, and Voodoo Queens like Marie Laveau.

Most people like to visit New Orleans during Mardi Gras to see the parades and boobies and drink. I don't ever go to Mardi Gras in New Orleans because it's so crowded and I'm not really interested the parades and boobies.

Many people especially enjoy watching the Saints play football in the Super Dome as well when there is a game and they all dress up in all kinds of outfits that display the team colors or logos.

Hmm, what else? You should try the crayfish if you like hot food. Ignore the religious people telling you that judgment day is coming because if you talk to them they will try to save your soul. Please stay out of the road when you're not supposed to be there. That's one thing that bothered me when I went to Germany or some other countries in Europe. I was afraid that I was going to step on someone sitting on the side of the road and glad that I wasn't trying to wear heals while walking around. Over here people's attitude is more like, "Get out of damn road!"

was that a metaphor/symbolism?
if not. i do not get it at all (people sitting in the street in germany?).

im torn between boobies and the voodoo museum

sounds pretty cash though, random street performers are always welcome in my eyes

I dont really understand what you mean.

[Panda]

Oh well. It seems to be true that people aren't actually interested in hearing about New Orleans anyway.

I think what she means is that in the USA people dont sit on the sidewalk as oppose to in some parts of Europe?

[Panda]

Yes. Everyone has to work on their descriptions sometimes I suppose.

whisper whisper, murmur, whisper GOTA whisper, hiss, murmur, his - hihihi- sigh, whisper, whisper, murmur, psssht- he is listening- whisper, whisper, GOTA, hiss, smoth, whisper, lispher, murmurmur, hahahahaha

Problem, eavesdroppers off the world?

Even Picasso doesn't seem to always describe things so clearly even though he makes interesting posts. Here's some funny phrases: chunky butt cheese and dookie curls (it's a hairstyle).

Can i combine street acrobatism, a drink and boobies? Ranma showed how its done.

Srsly, i m not so into cities, especially the old stuff. Man, every city here in europe is build on layers and layers of old shit, its damn boring. Yeah the romans were here? So what, they were everywhere in europe. Immerwährender Reichstag? Yeah, sort of middleage loya yirga to get votes for a sort of UN-Sockpuppet of the warlords. Iv seen so many dungeons, castles, ba-rock-cocone-shit, and torture cellars, i have enough for two lifetimes. So New Orleans (we have layers of layers, of old New Orleans flooded and built over) is not interesting. What is interesting (because can be used for working inspiration) is that bug-museum.

I thought that there were some awesome statues in Germany. It was fun to hike in the mountains up to where that castle that held Richard the Lion Heart, Trifels Castle.

The Hapsburg Palace along with the gardens in Austria were very pretty. I especially liked the gardens.

St. MartinÔÇÖs Cathedral in Bratislava had a lot of neat Gothic architecture.

Budapest has some great traveling musicians.

The organ concert in Passau was beautiful and the violinists playing along did an excellent job as well! There's nothing quite like that here.

Hungry has some awesome goulash served inside of bread, which I learned to make when I got home.

The Danube river had some spectacular night time sites because of the castles and city lights.

I bought a great CD made by a student who was a violinist and got to see a captivating theatrical performance pertaining to inventions and traveling to another dimension. Smoth volunteered to get up on stage as a part of the show and they brushed his hair while he was blindfolded. Smoth has gorgeous hair that even a lot of women over here are jealous of. The performers seemed to like his hair too.

Other fun countries to visit are Canada where theirs great skiing and Bonair where you can see all kinds of sea turtles, fish, and other reef organisms if you go snorkeling. Coasta Rica has a lot iguanas, tropical birds, pigeons, and interesting wildlife too.

I like visiting cities along with a lot of other places especially since I like hiking, skiing, and snorkeling. I didn't get lost either even though I didn't speak all of the languages that I heard. The people were friendly.

In New Orleans it is fun to eat frozen yogurt while walking along the Mississippi River, but you can do that where I live too. There's also a battle ship that you can tour and you can listen to some historical pirate stories since New Orleans is a major port city.

I think you would get hurt if you were drunk and trying to do the acrobatics on the concrete the way those guys were. One lady joined the show and was doing a great job of dancing along with the other girls who were chosen to join in on the performance, but they could only pick a certain number of people because of limited space.

I'm sure that I could pull off some of the acrobatics that they were doing, but it wouldn't be very safe to try something like that on the cement especially since no ones going to pay your hospital bill if you do get hurt. Those performers were brave.

There aren't any gypsies in America, but you do still have to watch out for pick pockets if you visit New Orleans, as in pretty much any city that you visit.

The bug museum does seem like a very interesting place and I'm sure that it could be inspiring. I would like to see the beetles.:

As soon as they reopen it, I the Saenger theater would be a great place to visit. The decorations on the roof make it look like you are actually under the sky and dramatic statues ornament the boarder of the "skyline".



It would be an inspiring place to visit. They say that it will be bigger and better than before.
