点评:I was warned not to go. Unsafe. Pickpockets. People sleeping on the sidewalk. It is hot. It smells. Lots of drunks and party people. Loud. Note our hotel was a block away from the french quarter and it was serene.
So. . . Yes. It is all that. And so much more. The food is out of this world - probably the best in the country. The architecture is stunning. The atmosphere is festive and upbeat. I never felt unsafe (but I am from NY - I stay with the crowds). An incredible diversity of people and never once the feeling of political discourse felt everywhere else in the nation. I like hot weather. I love vampire bars and voodoo shops, and cemeteries for that matter. It was like a renaissance faire, where all these different subcultures somehow found a way to get along. The lore and history. There are always more stories. It was romantic, delicious, and exciting. Oh, and did I mention the food? This was our third trip. And we plan to return as soon as we can.
翻译:有人警告我不要去。不安全。扒手多。有人睡在人行道上。天气很热。气味难闻。到处都是醉汉和派对狂欢者。吵闹不堪。不过,我们住的酒店离法国区只有一个街区,却非常宁静。
所以……是的。它确实如此,而且远不止这些。那里的食物美味绝伦——可能是全美最好的。建筑令人叹为观止。气氛欢快而充满活力。我从未感到不安全(但我来自纽约——我总是喜欢待在人群中)。那里的人们极其多元化,而且丝毫没有其他地方那种政治辩论的氛围。我喜欢炎热的天气。我喜欢吸血鬼酒吧、巫毒商店,还有墓地。那里就像一个文艺复兴集市,各种不同的亚文化群体竟然找到了和谐共处的方式。那里的传说和历史。总有新的故事可以挖掘。那里浪漫、美味、令人兴奋。哦,对了,我提到食物了吗?这已经是我们第三次去了。我们计划尽快返回。
