Changes

New Orleans is of course amazing. The French Quarter is full of hobo kids as well as drunken vomiting tourist frat boys. A friendly place. Don't let the bullshit ("ever since Katrina it's been very dangerous") scare you -- yeah, there are gang war neighborhoods, but if you just hitchhike in you can hang out in the French quarter and be fine. Even if you are in a gang neighborhood, people usually leave travellers alone -- if you have a bag/backpack and a cardboard sign, don't worry about bad neighborhoods -- you're basically a bum!
