I have been living in Portland for around 4 months now. It's a fine city, as far as cities are concerned. It's very green, and very diverse. In fact the slogan of the city is "Keep Portland Weird." which people here definitely take to heart. Walking through downtown Portland is like walking through a freak show, especially at the Saturday Market, (an outdoor flea market, where people sell there home made goods) where normalcy is frowned upon. :)
All the rumors of Portland are true. It rains alot. In fact, i would say that it's rained everyday since i've been here, minus 3 days. It doesn't bother me, everyone i talk to tells me that they would get really depressed if they lived here. But, I like the rain.
Another good thing about living in a really diverse city is the different food that i get to eat. Anyone who knows me, knows that i love to eat a different types of restaurants. True, i eat the same thing at most restaurants, (hamburger with no onion, no mayo, but add bacon) - - a phrase i can say in 3 languages, English, Czech, Slovak .... I also enjoy eating at different places. One of my new favorite places to eat at is a sushiland! it's a place where these Mexicans will make you sushi! I've eaten almost everything on the menu, but my two favorite things are: 1) California roll 2) Cucumber wrapped in seaweed. I like it, it's pretty cheap, and it's a fun atmosphere. I took a picture with my phone, so it's bad quality but it'll give you an idea of what the menu is like. That is octopus, which isn't bad, just chewy.
There is more going on in my life which i will explain on a later blog, but since i'm at work right now, i don't want to over do it!
