Are you going to come visit both before you make your choice? Even if you've been before, it's probably good to check it a place out with the goal of living there in mind.

Portland and San Francisco have slightly different atmospheres, though I like them both. Portland is a little more laid-back, and it's definitely more green (as in, surrounded by forests). It's cheaper to live there, as well. For the same amount we're paying for our little studio in a sort of iffy part of SF, we could have a bigger studio in a really cool part of Portland!

I feel like there's more to do in SF, though, and there are definitely a lot more Asian people (which mattered to me, haha, just for blending-in purposes). It's just bigger, overall, and closer to the ocean, which is neat! Plus we have In-N-Out!

Overall, both cities are nice, and I think I would have a hard time choosing between them, too, if I had equal reasons for being in both places. If you want to email me and talk more about it, please do! Moving is so tedious, isn't it?

It's an elk, actually. I've heard that moose are mean!

This wedding was really great. The ceremony was outside, and very quick, which was nice, and the reception was in this cool lounge. I spent most of the time getting to know my older ex-coworkers who were also friends of the bride and groom!

P.S. Does your blog have the option to follow via RSS?

Ooh, make sure you go see on of the Cirque du Soleil shows! My favorite is O at the Bellagio. It's crazy gorgeous.

You didn't know they have slot machines in the terminals? They want to squeeze every last cent out of you before you leave!

It's definitely no fun to lose, haha.

To be honest, I'd rather just take the money and shop!

I think Ko liked it because the decorations are so ridiculous!

But yeah, sometimes I wish he was a bit more of a camwhore, haha.

Ah, neat! I don't know many people here, so it's fun to make new internet friends, haha. I like your blog, by the way. I'll definitely follow you :D

And, yeah, they have a bar and a Peet's inside.

Do you have lots of them in your area?

I used to live in Hawaii, and I don't think we did at all...

The sad thing is, I never ate that yakitori! I should start the Photoblog Diet where you take pictures of food but don't eat any, haha.

That's a good way of thinking about it. Making memories ♥

It's so addictive!

Like "Ah, next time we have to do THIS pose!" etc.

I know! The prices are kind of expensive, but the purikura machines are good ones, so I don't really feel ripped-off, haha.

Re: PURIKURA

Tofugu_Erin — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 12:44:55 -0000

For the amount of time we spent, I think it might have been worth it, haha. I could see this becoming an addiction!
