The rest of my tourist things, when I was not doing conference related events, was going up and down Bourbon Street, which is just as good as advertised, if not better. The second thing was to go to a big casino (I do not gamble but I do drink at casino bars) so I would think I was at TECHED Las Vegas. The very first thing I did, in order to soak up the local culture, was to go to a German beer place, because I lived in Germany for so long. I had never been to New Orleans, so I added a few days before and afterwards for tourist things. From the 7 th to the 9 th of November ASUG (American SAP Users Group) did their equivalent of TECHED in New Orleans, due to the fact SAP itself was not doing a TECHED in the USA this year, only India.
