Nam,

I'm coming up to join you.

No really, I'm going to college up there!

 

Well, it's no big surprise. Actually, I was expecting this announcement a while ago.


I've spent some time in Portland and it is a pretty cool city, mostly. It's a little too crunchy for my taste, but there are a lot of fun things to do.


I hope you have fun, and make sure you come down here in the next 6 months or I'll be in Texas, which is a much farther commute. LOL



Cheers!

 

happy for u brutha,,,

glad things are working out for u & that the city is embracing you.


Oregon is along drive for me & the S4...
but maybe a flight up to see ya & the sights..


when are u making a trip down to so cal - just a visit?

and besides me, Cheng & the others were hoping u could *accompany* us to
one of the lovely vietnamese coffee houses I keep hearing about...

 

road trip indeed... i would love to see Oregon some day... i guess this will give you enough experience to find all the hot spots before some of us make it up there...

 

ah dam nam. oh well i guess somethings cant be controlled, i hope u enjoy it up there
maybe some day we will caravan up there

u take care of urself bud

 

I think we should do a caravan up to Nam's place... Or at least meet at Monterey, CA (halfway point?) and do some NICE PCH driving all the way back home.

 

thanks guys for the words of wisdom. i hope i'll make it back down to socal for a few days within the next 6 months to hang out.

i have my own apt, so if anyone wanna swing by portland, you'll always have a place to stay.

Rhynolite...... where are you going to school? and when are you coming up here?


as for road trips, that wouldn't be so bad, maybe we'll do a NORTHWEST meets CALI GTG!!!!!

 

do they have vietnamese coffee houses in Portland??

 

It's up in the air right now, there are a couple of places. Willamette, Linfield, Lewis & Clark I've all applied to. There's a couple in Washington as well, but that's not too too bad of a drive.
