..I flew to New Orleans today..I am amazed by the melange of culture and the blend of architecture having Spanish, French, Irish, British, Italian origin..one corner of the street looks like Barcelona, I turn around and it brings about France, next street looks like Naples / Italy...and if i cross the street again i realize ..i'm still in America.. Nite Life has its peak here. People are amazingly nice and enjoying themselves. I'd love to spend a few months here and also make it to the 'rough' / affected areas..you remember..Katrina disaster..see how that looks like now..a lot of people moved from the area and still they say ..'not a good idea to venture out there, looks the same'.. I still have to see a lot of America, every city is a surprise, not as i pictured it..I remember hearing people saying ..America doesn't have much culture...hello! there's so much history and culture everywhere you go if you ask me. all around hitting you in the face, open your eyes and also your ears..."Planet of New Orleans"..Dire Straits...i think it's their most awesome song next to 'Iron Hand'..long before i started travelling i was playing this song incessantly..now i'm in N.O. and it's real..bites the reality..it's my 'soundtrack' while here.
