Trip to Portland, Oregon - A mixed feelings of euphoria and despair

NOV 12 - NOV 15 , 2017

Welcome to the Portland, Oregon where mountains meet the Pacific.  America's one of the finest city with sustainability ingrained in the genetics and the liberalism hyped for generations to generation,  unequivocally as most liberal cities, the homelessness thrives! - what went wrong? The hippie's culture.

The green bike trail in the middle of the road to the public transportation, Portland has well excelled in the sustainability and progressive thinking. Portland, Oregon’s largest city, sits on the Columbia and Willamette rivers, in the shadow of snow-capped Mount Hood. It’s known for its parks, bridges and bicycle paths, as well as for its eco-friendliness and its microbreweries and coffeehouses. Iconic Washington Park encompasses sites from the formal Japanese Garden to Oregon Zoo and its railway. The city hosts thriving art, theater, and music scenes.




The food carts were really good as people lined up to buy. We tried the  Egyptian food cart and the Thai food cart another day. 

Roaming around the Whiskey Library was fun as it showed the art of arranging the whiskey and bartender has to constantly bring the ladder to fulfill the dreams of the customer. We stayed at Hilton Embassy Suites.







The most amazing part was the meeting of two women who are originally from Nepal and working in the hotel. As I was taking my breakfast, I feel the vibe of Nepalese language and there we are talking in no-time. what is the chance of meeting any Nepalese in the US? The probability looms at 160,000 / 327,375,909  at the very small number.

We also went to the Urban farmer, the country-chic restaurant in the 8th-floor atrium of the Nines hotel. 

People were really amazing and nice in Portland.

The other day, we went to Darslam - the Iraqi food restaurant that has nice lentil soup.  

And yes, - people have beards...Is Portland the bear capital of the country? and ...It rains in Portland, it rained all three days. 

Will definitely love to go to Oregon again in the future, great people, amazing food, great city and the heart of sustainability and yes I miss beautiful trees and rain.
