A
Lindha was a student at Kansas State University. She is here to tell us about her time in Kansas in the city of Manhattan. .
What were the best things about it?
Manhattan has a great university feel to it. I loved going to the football games. We would spend the whole day tailgaying (开车尾派对) outside the stadium,drinking beer and having a big barbecue.
What do you think of the people there?
People from Kansas are so friendly. However,I'd say that many Kansans are very sheltered and don，t pay much attention to life outside the US. But as the grandma of my Kansan friend might say,re still sweet as pie."
What wjere the worst things about being there?
It's very difficult to get around Kansas without a car. Everything's so spread out and there isn’t really a public transportation system.
What was the funniest thing that happened while you were there?
I remember one trip I took with my friend to her grandparents’ house. They had horses and asked me if I wanted to go for a ride. I had never ridden a horse before but I decided to have a try. I hopped (跳上) on and everything was fine for a minute. But then the horse went crazy. It started bucking(猛然弯背跃起) and making these crazy noises. I thought I was going to die. My friend eventually calmed the horse down but not before I had destroyed an entire section of the fence. I thought they would be mad but they were just in shock — they couldn，t believe I had stayed on the horse for that long.
Did you have any other problems?
I'm Swedish,but my English is pretty good because my dad's English. But it took a little while to get used to the accent. The people from the cities don，t have a strong accent,but the people from the country are hard to understand sometimes. You also have to be careful with the weather. In the winter it was absolutely freezing,and during the summer it was so hot I thought I might die. Of course,they have heating and air conditioning everywhere.
