Exploring Portland with new international students

Posted by Greg Steward

FOCUS Associate, Kevin Chan, came up with the excellent idea of offering new international students at PSU a walking tour of Portland.

Twenty-five new international students headed off from the PSU park blocks, walked down Broadway to Pioneer Square, and took the MAX to PGE Park. From there we walked to Eat Pizza. (Kevin must dine there often.) There was a demonstration of pizza-making and then, courtesy of the owner, we feasted on five pizzas.

We crossed Burnside to the Nob Hill district, walking along NW 23rd to Lovejoy, where we caught a Trimet street car to Jamison Square in the Pearl district.  There we enjoyed some ice cream at Cool Moon Ice Cream.

Then it was on to the first FOCUS Coffee House.
