    Hillsboro之行

    10月出差去了次公司在Hillsboro的R&D中心,第一次去了传说中的美利坚。Hillsboro是Portland边上的一个小镇,其地位相当于中国中等城市的郊区,而所在的Oregon州是全美绿化最好的州之一,风景还是挺美的,遗憾的是2个星期的时间太短,而我又不会开车,所以只能在附近闲逛,不然,可以去西海岸看看太平洋,或是去Mt.Hood看雪山。

    No.1 Hillsboro街景。当时正值深秋,枫叶正红之时。Hillsboro是地中海型气侯,夏天阳光充足,冬天阴雨连绵,而我的运气相当不错,两个周末都是艳阳高照。


    No.2 Portland Max车站。周末坐Max(城铁)去downtown逛了一下。Portland虽然是Oregon的首府,但城市相当小,ms也是中国的一个县城的样子,等街道大多是二车道。Max也不像北京那样是封闭的,更像是有轨电车。车票只有通过自动售票机买,我买的one day pass,一天通票,但坐了一天似乎也没人来查票。


    No.3 Portland的郊外。在Portland的政府网站上查了条徙步路线,沿Columbia河的一条支流一直走,遇到好几个骑车的人,从老头到小P孩,各年龄段都有,唉,看他们骑车,看得我心痒痒。这里,不得说一下美国的网络信息化做得非常好。Portland政府的网站上不仅有驾车路线、骑车路线还有徒步路线,徙步路线不仅标志出距离、时间,甚至多少步也都标出,而且还提醒在哪个路口可能因为汽车多而注意安全。又例如,我查downtown里一个小餐馆,居然还可以download它的菜单。


    No.4 Washington Park的trail road. Washington Park是个森林公园,有很多这样的徙步小道,但自行车是不允许进入的。俺想去山顶看Portland全景,就沿着这样的小路走了好久,仍在密林深处,天色渐晚,只好原路返回。


    No.5 Washington Park的黄昏.


    No.6 公司的大楼。公司几年前在Hillsboro买了老大一块地,准备建七个building,可建完2个后,发现已经够用了,可等把人招进来,发现1个building就够了,要知道,在美国招人是还贵滴。公司的这座5层楼是附近最高的建筑,从茶水间里可以看到远处白雪皑皑的Mt.Hood。


    No.7 公司外的人行道。在美国没车是件很痛苦的事,大街上很少能见到走路的人。
