Starting to get impatient - Day 2

10:30 AM - SW Waterfront
Waking up slightly sore, I decide to go back to the gym for a light workout to decrease soreness.

1:30 PM - Downtown Portland
With the aid of the passport... Katy, Kevin, Mythili and I go to lunch at Dragon Well Chinese Bistro downtown.  We order the eggplant, general Tsao's chicken, kung pao chicken, and yellow curry. While eating, I try to think about how I'm going to rate this place on Yelp.  The best description I had was that it was similar to P.F. Chang's with considerably less MSG.

3:30 PM - SW Waterfront
After getting home and waiting around until dinnertime, I start to get really sleepy.  Blast that Dragon Well place, they were loaded with MSG!  I pop open a Red Bull to combat the effects.

5:00 PM - Hollywood District
Went to Laurelwood Brewpub for happy hour with some Kaiser pharmacists.  The beers are pretty good, I had 2 pints and found out they're like 6-6.5% alcohol each.  At least I won't be having more later on right?

6:45 PM - Downtown
After a fun time at Laurelwood, a couple of us decide to go downtown to Bailey's Room for some more drinks.  I got a cider to mix it up.  We then head over to the Rogue Brewpub to meet up with Katy and Mythili.  After enjoying a Scotch Ale, we call it an early night.

11:55 PM - SW Waterfront
Now I realize it's probably a really bad idea to go to bed with the alcohol fresh in my system, so I decide to play some subspace until about 2:30 AM.

  1. PF Chang's doesn't use MSG. That's why their food is only so-so. ;)

  2. I must admit, I've been there once and it was about 5 to 6 years ago. My bad on the assumption... no wonder nobody eats there
