Day 21: 3 Week Anniversary Recap

Things I have learned about living in New Orleans so far:

1) Do not drive through the Quarter at any hour, regardless of what Google Maps say.

2) Turning right on red is great. Not being able to turn left at major intersections is the worst.

3) You can sit in a coffee shop for 4 hours and not get stink-eyed by the staff. Also iced coffee is more expensive and tastes so much better.

4) You can learn your way around without using street name signs. Which is good because intersections here either don't have them OR they exist embedded into the sidewalk.

5) It is difficult to adjust your feminist trainings to accomodate being called "sweetheart" and "baby, but  while you (kinda) have to get used to it, you don't have to like it every time it happens.

6) Laundry is more expensive. I have no explanation for that.
