1974: President Richard Nixon resigns because of Watergate scandal

Richard Nixon was graduated from Duke University Law School and was the 37th president of the United States. He was married to Patricia Ryan and they had two daughters, Julie and Patricia.

On August 9, 1974 Richard Nixon resigned due to a scandal caused by the break in at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, DC. The hotel was the location of the Democratic Party Headquarters in 1972.

A security guard cought some burglars breaking into the hotel. Some of the burglars had ties to people in Nixton administration, and president Nixton tried to minimize the damage to his administration. The investigations uncovered many unethical and illegal activities by people very close to the president. Since the president lost lots of political support he then himself covered it up. Nixton chose to resign the presidency rather than face certain impeachment.

Traditional sport in Norway

Yo Robin! I thought maybe you want to know something about the traditional sports in Norway. Its several actually, but the most common is football and skiing. I personally like football. Its more interessting and a human wants to see more of it. Skiing is only fun to do when you do it by your self. I cant play football, I "suck" in other words. However, football is the sport the majority in Norway like. People here likes to play and watch football. We've got alright teams. They aren't the best in the world, but they can play football. Thats the main thing.

Whats traditional sport in your country?

To our Korean friends - A blogpost about the weather in Norway

Dear Korean friends

As you already now Norway is a cold country. It starts snowing here in the middle of october. The next months are really very cold. But we can always have fun even if its cold here. In fact its quite nice with cold weather. We do amazing actvities, such as skiing, sledging and lots more. Snow combinates good with Christmas too. Its nice when its cold and snowy outside and warm inside.

However, the people of Norway survive the weather here and enjoys it. How is your weather? and which activities are most common in your country?
