I'm spending a minimum of 3 months in Rishikesh this winter...I'm really hoping it's a break from quite so many obeasts. I live in Tucson, Arizona and...damn. It's pathetic. Luckily (at least from photos) there aren't a ton a fatties at the school I'm going to! Not surprising since you get kicked out for missing one class and the schedule goes from about 5:30 am to 9:00 pm 5 days a week and half days on Saturday. No fat has that kind of dedication, haha.

However, the last few sentences you wrote...that's what I'm worried about. I'm super pale, freckled, blue eyes, and red hair. I don't exactly blend in...

Rishikesh is beautiful and there are a lot of great hiking opportunities in Uttarakhand. The creepers are worse anywhere you expect to find tourists but the vast majority of people are respectful and friendly. People recognize me on my runs, now, and wave or offer high-fives. Kids race me.

And they lose.

It's because Portland is full of hipsters. Portland and the surrounding area is also host to a ton of different colleges and universities. Hipsters tend to be SJW, as do a large portion of students, due to the way the SJW have basically taken over many campuses inside and outside of the classroom. Many of the faculty are either sympathetic or active supporters. FA has pretty much hitched onto the SJW wagon by clothing itself in much the same rhetoric, so it makes sense that it would be so rife in a place like Portland.

Portland is basically the San Fransisco of Oregon.

I'd say that SJW tend to be hipsters, not the other way around.
