For school i have been learning about canadian exploration, and after the vikings, we learned about marco polo, who travelled to the orient by land.Later, christopher columbus tryed to go to the orient by land. My teacher wanted us to think about why it was so important to go to the orient, for spices, silk, and paper. so it ends up that we have to make a report on any spice we want. We also have to make something with that spice. I chose cardamom. I'm making pulla:)
