Downtown Portland
We were curious on what downtown Portland looks like and so everyone decided to hop on the bus and explore the place.
Coming from Park Lane Suites and Inn, we decided to go to the bus stop at W Burnside & NW King and hop on bus 15.
W Burnside & NW King >SW Salmon between 6th and 5th Avenues
1. Get down at the 8th stop
** be alert when you hear SW Salmon & Park (7th stop) since you should go down to the next stop.
If you want to go to the Apple Store and you’re coming from SW Salmon between 6th and 5th Avenues:
1. Walk straight SW Salmon street towards SW 5th Ave
2. As soon as you see SW 5th Ave turn left
3. After you pass by SW Taylor Street, you should see Apple Store on your left (see Apple Store picture below)
Here are some photos of downtown Portland!

Eastbank Esplanade
I don’t know how we got here (huhu so sorry), it was my brother and my dad who did the navigating thru Garmin and Google Maps but here are some photo!! It’s a good place if you want to see Portland from a different POV.

Woodburn Premium Outlets
To get to Woodburn Premium Outlets, you really have to drive a car. It’s really far from the city itself.
Coming from Park Lane Suites & Inn, it’s a 30 to 50 minute drive depending on the traffic and route you will take.
There are a (obviously) a lot of stores at Woodburn Premium Outlets (I wrote them at the latter part of this blog) and there are usually sales happening at every store. This is actually one of the best places to buy gifts or “pasalubongs”.

There are a lot of restaurants at Woodburn so you don’t have to worry about where you could eat if it’s time for lunch or dinner. But, being the Asian that we are we chose to eat at Pan Asian Express.

The outlet was really huge that it took up almost a fully day. If you’re planning to go to Woodburn, you should definitely block out a whole day or a whole afternoon or you might end up panic buying.
