Portland rain

is definitely not like London rain. It's actually, dare I say it, quite lovely. None of this sleety sideways gale force rain. I understand why Portlander's don't carry umbrellas.

Target really does have everything. Including...

 Yes. Shelf on shelf of tea. And yes, that is a box of PG Tips. I did however, compromise and went for liptons because of its magical multi functioning properties that allow it to also make ice tea :)










And this. This makes me happy.

Especially as half of the candy bars I've tried (yup candy bars plural) literally all taste the same. Don't get me wrong I love a good bit of peanut and chocolate but ask me the difference between a 5th Avenue, Mr Goodbar and Reeses and I couldn't tell you. It also makes up for the fact that pop tarts aren't veggie friendly :(

So imagine driving to Target to glut in the magic of everything in one of these bad boys. Yeah. Proper hardcore American experience right there.










Also, fun fact, Reed is the kind of place where they have free mnm dispensers in the business office and free interview clothes in the career centre. Everything also kind of looks like Hogwarts. Google the Grey's anatomy spin off 'private practice' and the reed health centre looks exactly like that. There's even a mind spa. With free bio feed and massages. And acupuncture. Living the high life.


Oh and I finally saw my first real double decker bike. They do exist. I do plan on getting on one. Yes, my health insurance does cover me for any injuries sustained on that bad boy. As long as I wear pads and a helmet. I checked.














Also had a little wander through the canyon today. I mean it's more of a beautiful ditch than a canyon but either way, it's lush.
