Uniquely New Orleans

I arrived in this city six days ago, and since then I have had many adventures which were and continue to be nothing like I have ever had before. I have learned so much about this city and it's strange ways. It's politics are frustrating, and it's people are welcoming. They do everything so backwards here, but yet it all strangely still makes sense. I feel the eternal motto for this city is "Live life to the most, celebrate as much as possible, don't take shit from nobody, and always leave room for more." I think it is amazing how people here just seem to find any way of loving life, it makes taking an introverted/extroverted look at one's spirituality very natural and fluid. Even though most churches in the north would say that the people of New Orleans are all sinners, I feel these people know something we don't, and that is God is with us everyday, but at the same time, God wants us to just enjoy life as much as possible. There is so much here that says these people have their minds made up on how to live and the lifestyle is unique to them. The people are all very welcoming and more than willing to show you their way of doing things, of how to say things, and even how they dance/party. I have to say, in five short days, I have slowly come to realize that the motto of New Orleans holds completely true, Laissez Le Bon Temps Roulez! Let the Good Times Roll!
