Chinese Garden in Portland Oregon



I'm going to go to my brothers wedding (God willing) in June. I want to camp out in Portland with my parents for a few days, just to have them all to myself (and to avoid pre-wedding madness). I'm also thinking of flying into San Diego first. I want to visit my best friend Cindy, and sister Donna. It is way better to get over jet lag at the beach...while eating good Mexican food....don't you agree?

I've been to the classical chinese garden twice now and love it. It is a great representation of some of the gardens in China Eric and I visited. You can have tea there. It's great because it's pretty level.

There is also a great Japanese garden by the portland zoo, but it would be hard on mom and dad because it has a lot of hills and inclines.

The rose garden is also by the Japanese garden.

I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
