Most things are pretty affordable in Portland! Apartments are pretty cheap for a city, public transit is very cheap and dining out is just as affordable!

Portland's climate is ideal for growing roses, and for more than a century Portland has been known as "The City of Roses," with many rose gardens – most prominently the International Rose Test Garden.

Pedalpalooza, an annual month long bike centered festival involving many group bike rides, including some like the burrito ride or the midnight mystery ride. POWELLS BOOKS is the LARGEST book store in north america. Yup, thats right the biggest one! Its in downtown on Burnside st. Set aside a few hours, if you come with friends make a meeting place cause this multi-floor 'city of books' is amazing for all! Queer folk come to Portland as there is a thriving queer community and really its a great place for people of all walks of life to come find a community of some kind.

During most months of spring summer and fall there is plentiful berry and fruits to be picked on Sauvie Island a short drive or healthy bike ride from downtown. Take your basket and go out to pick (and eat) as many blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, peaches, plums etc as you can. Also, Portland has famously delicious micro-brewed beer. Check out the Portland based brewery/restaurant/theatre spots of McMenimans. Youll find them around the city and nestled in historic buildings and old saloons. Most offer great food and delicious beers while a few of McMenimans even offer a heated pool, movies and live music. But really, any bar will have a local brew, just ask whats on tap. Portland is also voted the country's most "Vegan Friendly Town". Most restaurants have vegan and certainly vegetarian options in this town.
Portland , Hotels:
8/10
Check out the Jupiter Hotel for a wild take on hospitality, its adjoining restaurant the Doug Fir has fabulous food day and night, a fully stocked bar and great live music in the evening. Downtown offers many of the same hotels found in most cities around the country and world.
Portland , Safety:
9/10
Portland is a city, like any other but people are generally quite friendly and crime is not quite that high. Downtown is safe and the east side of town is mostly neighborhood based shopping areas, with no threat of crime apparent at all. This town is also BIKE FRIENDLY. But please be advised that helmets and proper front and back lights are suggested to make this safe. Bike lanes can be found all around the city and you can make it from one end of town to the other in just over an hour.
You are an ignorant fuck

shut the fuck up. you are talking nothing but shit. clearly you have never been out of your home before, either that or you are one of those people that defeat the purpose of travel by eating and sleeping the same way they do when they are at home so that they don't feel so home sick and don't have to realise that there is actually a huge world filled with diverse and beautiful things out there and you have missed it because your head is in the sand. as far as eating the food and sitting on the toilet for a week, if you use your head correctly and take note of what you eat and take the proper precautions then eating in Kathmandu is wonderful. as far as hotels go, when was the last time you saw a hotel in the US for US$5 a night with a twin bed, hot water and breakfast served in the morning? because hat is the value for money you will find if you actually look around Kathmandu and many other less well off countries. my message here really is to just let people who read this bullshit know that what this moron has said is not true, and there are hundreds of incredible things to see and do in Nepal and the food, people and accommodation come in all colours and qualities. as for the writer of this, wake the fuck up before you waste your life. as for me, ill be trekking through the Annapurna ranges in a few months, something other than Mt Everest to do in Nepal, fancy that?

Looking forward to Kathmandu

Peter, rather strong language but take your point - I'm in the middle of organising a world trip and the only reason I wanted to go to Kathmandu was because I get to travel to Tibet from there, however, trying to get one trip to link with another is rather exasperating and realised I would end up staying there a few days between excursions so looked a bit further into it and realised that I'm actually glad I'm getting to stay a few days. My only comment for those that have said bad things about the place is that everyone's entitled to their opinion and I'll reserve mine until I see the place, however, I would like to think that regardless of what country I visit that I will look at things with an open mind and respect each country, its people and their way of life regardless of my own opinions. PS I've stayed in a few dodgy places in the states and got food poisoning from a cafe in my home town here in England!
