Victoria Trip
The Victoria trip was filled with fun times. the funnest times for me though was going out for coffee with my Aunty Joan, Uncle Doug and cousin Glen at the Pacific Rim Hotel and the Empress hotel in down town Victoria after words going to a Fancy white spot. The coffee that we bought the bill at the end was 40$!!! the funnest part of the Field trip besides that though was the night we all went to see the Imax and they locked the doors on us so we just went and walked around down town Victoria that was thee funnest part of the trip for me. the part i disliked the most would of had to been the fairy ride back it was not nearly as fun as the fairy ride there. Over all i loved the trip to Victoria and cant wait for the next time i get to go

in 1930 Gandhi had his famous salt march in India where him and many of his followers fallowed him down the the ocean to make salt for themselves so they do not have to buy it from the British people in the country because they were making salt very expensive and were putting many tax's on it so no one could afford it. Gandhi held this march went down the to ocean and made piles of piles of salt and handed it out for free. in 1964 he got the Nobel Peace Price for all of his actions in India trying to free Indian soil from the English and re take India's culture for its own and free the Indian people from the English culture and the chains that were getting put on them. Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated on 30 January 1948, shot at point blank range by Nathuram Godse, an activist of the Hindu nationalist Hindu Mahasabha.
