(For those who don't know, the title of this blog post is actually quite appropriate as Portland is very "earthy" and natural and quite vegan, as well.)
Here's what I've learned so far:
1. Always check the Portland events calendar or you may run into things you don't want to see. This was a few weekends ago: news
(By the way, if you actually read the article, can you tell me how going completely nude and painting yourself gray is "all about saving the environment?")
2. How hipsters think.
Yes. That's my roommate.
3. When people say "It's been sunny today" they mean they saw the sun for at least 5 minutes. Total.
4. When people say "It's going to be sunny soon" they're lying. (Turns out the people that say "June, July, and August are sunny" and the people who say "It's always sunny after mid-June" and the people who say "It's beautiful after the 4th of July" and the people who say "Mid-July on is always sunny" ARE ALL WRONG.)
5. You get glares when you forget your reusable grocery bag.
6. People in Portland never speed and are incredibly cautious drivers. A far cry from Utah.
7. Apparently when people go to the beach here they don't go to swim. It's FREEZING. And is always raining.
8. Keeping Portland weird is not hard for most people....
9. Not having to calculate sales tax in your head is awesome. You pay exactly the price you see. Brilliant.
10. The dream of the 90's is definitely alive in Portland.

Hard to see, but she (he?) has a bag of empty soda bottles. A common collector's item here.
