Also here is my 2 second lesson on New Orleans It's easily the most interesting city in the U.S. and has a weird culture that's a combination of both French and Redneck ,called Cajun. Like Holland, the city is below sea level, and the water is held back by a series of levies, which break down quickly if left unattended (and in fact, already have during Hurricane Katrina). It is surrounded by swamps, and is the center of American "Voodoo" culture. Pretty cool place.
