I’m currently sitting in exhibit hall c of the Oregon Convention Center enjoying a starbucks coffee, I’m at railsconf 07, my first tutorial (Intro to Test-Driven Development for Rails) starts in 45mins, the convention center is huge!
Getting here was easy, Portland has a tram system called the Max Light Rail, it’s free for most of the city, and only took like 20mins.
There are a lot of people here already and I expect there will be even more tomorrow.
Portland is a beautiful city, I could honestly see living here, image paris without the dirt and smog, make the roads and paths wider, take away the awkward angles and turn them into blocks and you have portland. Why paris? The trees, image the Champs-Élysées only every block is like that. It’s really beautiful, I had a good wonder around yesterday, the sine was shining, the trees were green, it was lovely. A woman at the airport told me that portland has the feel of a big-town rather than a city. She was right.
My hotel (the hotel lucia) is stunning. drop-dead-gorgeous. I also found a fabulous all-male designer underwear shop called Under U 4 Men, I dropped like $200 dollars in the already and I know I will go back.
All in all I’m having a great time so far.
