[QUOTE="Xyanthon, post: 3133715, member: 9181"] I think there are a lot of great things to do in Portland. The Saturday market is pretty cool if you like to go to farmer's markets, see live music, and whatnot. There is all kinds of hiking to do in the mountains, fishing, kyaking. If you like skiing, well there is that too. I moved to Japan from Seattle about a year ago, but I went to Portland a few times for extended business trips and absolutely loved it. I hope that in the next year or two to come back to Seattle or Portland. I havent spent much time in Portland over the winter but it seemed to be similar to Seattle (ave 45-50 degrees and rainy - which is mostly drizzle not downpour type rain). I really miss the PNW just so much great stuff to do and friendly people. P.S. there is a pretty good market for UNIX types all over the PNW (even in Seattle). I'm a Windows Sys Admin that prefers UNIX/Linux. The PNW is Windows saturated (that is why I'm in Japan right now) but if my UNIX chops had been a little better I would have been able to find a 60k+ job fairly easily. [/QUOTE]
