My culinary adventure continues

Well, I've been in the US for about a week now, and things are slowly starting to settle in terms of weirdness. Their light switches are the wrong way round, with down being off. People here just start conversations with random strangers. After years of living under the basic credo "anyone who talks to you on public transport is a fucking crazy person", all of a sudden I'm in a country where perfectly normal people do that. And talk loud. On the phone.

Anyway, photos! From Portland!

Otter Statues. They're not quite up to the same level as the Christchurch corgis, but still...

The second one is purely to make Chris jealous. Yes, that is a half litre of Red Bull. No you can't have it.

Reese's Peanut Butter and Banana Creme: These are actually pretty gross. They take that horrible fake banana flavour (kinda like the Cadbury bannoffee bars) and add it to Reese's peanut butter cups. Not cool

OH GOD GIANT ANDROGYNOUS BRONZE POSEIDON IS COMING TO GET YOU! EVERYBODY RUN!

A hot dog. From a random stall. These things are actually pretty decent, with nice buns and about 30 options for toppings. I wonder if they have such a selection of extras to mask the flavour of the sausage itself? I mean after adding onions, saurkraut, capsicum, mayo, mustard, bbq sauce, jalapeños, chilli beans, etc. etc., maybe you can't taste the thing. And it's still only $2.25

Finally, a building from Portland that I just found intriguing. 

Anyway, peace out everyone, and read the blog! It's got even more stuff (sometimes)

I hope you're all doing well, wherever you are.
