The Bayou State
The Bayou State este unul din numele pe care le poarta Statul Louisiana.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana
http://www.netstate.com/states/intro/la_intro.htm
The Bayou State: A bayou is a small secondary river that feeds into larger bodies of water. It is often marshy and slow moving. Because of the many slow, sluggish small streams that meander through the lowlands and marshes of the southern section of the state, Louisiana is often referred to as "The Bayou State." This nickname appeared on the Louisiana state license plates for a while beginning in 1974. It was later replaced by a World's Fair plate and, later, the Sportsman's Paradise plate.
Presupunand ca este vorba despre uraganul Katrina si urmarile acestuia, ar merge, mai simplu, ceva de genul Bagdadul din Louisiana.
80% sub ape dupa trecerea uraganului Katrina.
"Este ca in centrul Bagdadului", a afirmat Denise Bollinger, o turista care fotografia magazinele jefuite din Cartierul Francez. http://www.9am.ro/stiri-revista-presei/2005-09-01/apocalipsa...

| Da... marturisesc ca m-au pus pe ganduri referintele gasite pe Wikipedia: The word was first used by the English in Louisiana and is thought to originate from the Choctaw word bayuk, which means "small stream." The first settlements of Acadians in southern Louisiana were near Bayou Lafourche and Bayou des Ecores, which led to a close association of the bayou with Cajun culture. Bayou Country is most closely associated with Cajun and Creole cultural groups native to the Gulf Coast region generally stretching from Houston, Texas, to Mobile, Alabama, with its center in New Orleans, Louisiana. Simteam ca imi scapa ceva drept pentru care am si cerut ajutor cu acest termen. Multumesc! |

: Da, şi eu m-am gândit la varianta cu Bagdadul din Lousiana, sună foarte bine...dar totuşi nu i-au zis aşa...ceva îmi spune că au preferat Bayou din cauză că majoritatea populaţiei afectate era non-white. It's just a feeling...
