$100 Taxi Ride: (Ep13) - New Orleans/Singapore

One of the most eclectic cities in North America is New Orleaans. Tourists flock to the Big Easy for the partying, the food, the amazing mix of cultures-and the jazz. My driver Denise, one of the few female drivers in this tough city, is well connected and will help me in my quest to define jazz. We pass through the French Quarter and over the big muddy, the mighty Mississippi. In a city built below sea level, above-ground crypts are all over town. And when the fog rolls in, imaginations roll with it. After a visit to Joey's indoor zoo, Uncle Wayne's puppet show and the home of a stripper, I'm thinking that jazz is any kind of art. Next we're off to Singapore. Singapore is a city in transition-balancing traditional values and customs with the competitive world of high finance. Our driver Mr Poon takes us to visit two temples in one, where Buddhists and Muslims worship side by side. There is a bi-belief energy that is unique here, and the place is full of believers.
