I was in Vancouver, WA in summer 2006 doing an internship at Hewlett-Packard Co. In this album, I attempt to capture some glimpses of the beautiful places I visited during my stay. These include Vancouver (Washington), Seattle (Washington) and Portland (Oregon).

Because of the pictures, this page may take some time to load. So please be patient.

I got a friendly neighbor for the initial one month - he wandered around in the apartment complex and would visit me frequently. Then he was gone, never came back!
