Trane-Service & Repair-Portland OR
Portland Oregon is located in Northwestern Oregon, where the Columbia and Willamette rivers meet. The metropolitan area is made up of several suburban cities all within 15 miles of downtown Portland. As the original commerce center of Oregon, Portland is the largest city in the state and home to a diverse population, culture, recreation, and history. There is always something to do in Portland, from Rose Festival in June, to Skiing in the winter. Geographically there are four counties: Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington in Oregon; and Clark County in Washington, all part of the greater metropolitan area. We are sometimes known as the Willamette Valley because we have the Coast Range to the West and the Cascade Range to the East. However the Willamette Valley proper simply ends in Portland and extends 100 miles south through some of the most fertile and productive farm land on earth. The population of the metro area is 1.9 million, the largest metropolitan area in Oregon. The city of Portland has an official population of over 630,000. Topography of Portland varies between rolling hills, flat, and some steep sloped areas with gorgeous views of Mt. Hood, 11,235' high. It is, however, still the least expensive large city on the West Coast and obviously, it is popular between tourists. They are attracted by museums: Oregon Rail Heritage Center, Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center, Freakybuttrue Peculiarium, Ping Pong's Pint Sized Puppet Museum, The Faux Museum: Gallery & Store, Wells Fargo History Museum, Oregon Maritime Museum, The Hat Museum, Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, Portland Children's Museum, Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, Washington County Museum; by theaters: Oregon Ballet Theatre, Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, Aladdin Theater, ComedySportz Arena, Roseway Theater, Helium Comedy Club, Oregon Symphony, Laurelhurst Theatre, Sisters Movie House, The Brody Theater, Mission Theater & Pub, Rose Quarter, The Gerding Theater at the Armory, Wonder Ballroom, Curious Comedy Theater and certainly by wonderful landmarks: Oregon Holocaust Memorial, ODS Tower, Pearl District, Ankeny Plaza, Pioneer Courthouse, Overlook House, The Portland Building, FlyStyle, Sellwood Bridge, Assumption Catholic Church, Salmon Street Springs, Benson Bubblers, Sellwood Community Center, Old Town, Pioneer Courthouse Square, Animals in Pools, James F.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Japanese Americans (日系アメリカ人, Nikkei Amerikajin) are Americans who are fully or partially of Japanese descent, especially those who identify with that ancestry, along with their cultural characteristics. Japanese Americans were among the three largest Asian American ethnic communities during the 20th century; but, according to the 2000 census, they have declined in number to constitute the sixth largest Asian American group at around 1.4 million, including those of partial ancestry. According to the 2010 census, the largest Japanese American communities were found in California with 272,528, Hawaii with 185,502, New York with 37,780, Washington with 35,008, Illinois with 17,542, and Ohio with 16,995. Southern California has the largest Japanese American population in North America and the city of Torrance holds the densest Japanese American population in the 48 contiguous states.
