The self-proclaimed capital of weirdness in the
USA. Proud
home of hipsters, stoners, fat people and
fat stoned hipsters. The people pretend to care about the environment despite managing to turn a
beautiful spot in the middle of forest, which was just about the prettiest place on earth, into a sea of giant concrete rectangles that reeks of air pollution. When you cross over the Columbia River to Washington, you immediately notice that the air gets cleaner, the rivers get bluer, and so do the skies. Overall the surrounding vicinities of Portland are a great place for kayaking, fishing and hiking. Enter the city itself at your own risk: it's basically a cheaper, shittier version of
Seattle, but at least Seattle has the sea planes...
