Traveling to New Orleans is something like traveling to another country. Life in the Big Easy is slower, more slack having its own language and traditions. While traveling to New Orleans, keep in mind the following tips. First of all, we must know about some 'Do's' before stating our journey.
1. The people here are very particular about manners. Therefore, follow the manners sincerely; for instance, use the terms ma'am and sir copiously.
2. Claim your Mardi gras toss (a trinket thrown from a float) by stepping on it first, then clutching it with your hand, or else you are likely to be crushed.
3. Use and expect to hear 'where y' at?' instead of 'how are you?'
4. Keep your shirt on except it is Mardi gras, for sure.
5. Go to visit the 9th Ward and other areas destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Observe the harm and do something about it; maybe by visiting some of the extensive state-wise USA travel guides online.
Now, what we shouldn't do while in New Orleans:
1.
Don't hoot the car horn. Life moves rather slower in this part of the country, so have patience.2. Don't say pray-leens. It is 'praw-leens'.
3. Don't toss things back at the Mardi Gras floats- excluding the Krewe of Tucks', which allows parade goers to fling useless beads into the toilet atop the float.
4. Don't park your car between two blocks of a parade way.
5. Don't bring your food items to New Orleans- as there is nothing fat-free about this town!
With these guidelines, traveling to New Orleans can be a wonderful experience.
