Food scene
Eating at convenient stores is not common in all parts of the world. But here in Louisiana, it's an actual thing. Akasha is run by a really respectable family in the community. The food served here is so amazing that I eat here more often than Ronald at McDonald's. 😆 When staying here, one complimentary lunch/dinner will be delivered to your room.

Seriously, the first place I take someone who's never had a taste of Louisiana’s food.

Friendliness
Speak to others by waving and saying ”Hi” or ”Hello” but keep your distance. Hand shakes are no longer acceptable due to the Covid virus.

Travel
Cars are the best option but if needing transportation, the Lyft, Uber and the local metro (bus system) is available. Our metro system is not like New York so prepare to wait in uncovered bus stops with great distances.

Shared Living
When living with others it is custom in the United States that everyone shares the responsibility of taking out the trash and cleaning up after themselves. In order to make a room rental experience enjoyable, all parties have to do their part so thank you in advance for your help in this matter.

Traveling alone or with kids?
Use wisdom when conversing. Avoid telling strangers you are a travelIng alone or/and ‘new’ here. You honestly don't know them or their intentions so it's best to keep personal info like this to yourself as it makes you vulnerable. Appear as though you have come to visit loved ones whether this is true or not.
