    It's Not A Party In New Orleans

    By austinchu  |  Posted July 9, 2009  |  New Orleans, Louisiana
     

    It's difficult to comprehend and understand the full situation of New Orleans.

    We arrived at the start of Mardi Gras and didn't leave until the end.

    Old, young, rich, and poor, celebrated Mardi Gras to the fullest. It's the life symbol of New Orleans and it's people. They celebrated life and being part of such an amazing community.

    Much of the city is still abandoned and left to rot, but the people there, are more alive than ever. The city of New Orleans celebrated what they have, not what they don't have.
