Spring Break 2015: New Orleans

After visiting Tuscaloosa, the second city that I visited during my spring break of 2015 is New Orleans, Louisiana.

Instead of just traveling and sightseeing, the main purpose of my visit to New Orleans was for the education trek to learn more about New Orleans Public School system as almost all schools are charter school after Hurricane Katrina. But, there is no way that I will not take this opportunity to walk around the city and attend some museums that is available in the city. So, I planned my trip by arriving the city early in the morning before the trek, so that I will have time to explore the city.

Last Spring Break of College in Tuscaloosa, Alabama

I spent my last spring break of college in two cities in two different states: Tuscaloosa, Alabama and New Orleans, Louisiana.

The first place that I visited was Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I visited this place because one of my friends (Ian Ramdeen) whom I met during my study abroad program in Paris is from Tuscaloosa. I think it will be a great chance for me to visit what called the 'Deep South' of the United States since I might not have this chance again once I graduate from University of Chicago.

Tuscaloosa is a college town about an hour away from Birmingham, the most biggest city in Alabama. It is a home for University of Alabama and its great football team which everyone seems to be really cared about. During my visit, it was a spring break for University of Alabama, so the town itself is really quite for my standard. Not many people were walking on the street even in downtown and there was few cars driving around the city.
