Portland is about 180 miles from Seattle. A tax free state, Seattlites often drop by for a bargain hunt. I actually went once before but that trip(Febuary) was to a rather mediocre outlet mall with nothing much to offer.

Went straight to Outlet mall. Like always, saw things which I really wanted to buy for her. But fear of rejection once again drawn me against buying anything. Weak me. Haha.
Finished the shopping by 7pm. Went for dinner at fast food chain, Arby's. Its roast beef burgers were fantastic. One of the best burgers I've eaten in US ever.

Weird Portland, From Left: Zelin, Andy, Greg
Woke up early morning to go to the Saturday Market. It was nothing more than a Pasar Malam. Ang mohs are sure interested in stuff like these that many Singaporeans take for granted.
After the market, we went to Powell City of Books. It is the largest Buy-Sell book store in the world. Indeed it was large. Larger than any bookstore I had been to before. But it was definitely not as large as I had previously imagined it to be. It was probably 1.5 times the size of Singapore's MPH building.
Ended our books shopping around 4pm. Headed down straight to Woodburns Outlet Mall to recce the place.

Pon class.
Started the day off early.
Took a lousy Nissan Sentra around 9am. Drove 3+ hours to Portland.
Went to Hawthorne district for a little. Hawthorne is a arty farty street with lots of vintage and artsy stuff. Things they sell includes funny, weird items and vintage record labels. Saw lots of nice pretty stuff. Wanted to buy for her. But decided against it for fear of rejection. =(
Stayed the night at Red Lion Hotel. The hotel was just around the Oregon Convention Center.
