Student doesn't care for American food but thinks the people are rockin'

Wildcat: Hi, I'm Claire from the Arizona Daily Wildcat and you're on the spot. That's some gnarly neon yellow hair you've got there.

Sumiya: Yes, I like yellow, and I like the rock music.

Wildcat: What's your favorite thing to rock out to?

Sumiya: '80s rock singers like Guns N' Roses.

Wildcat: How long have you been in the United States?

Sumiya: Two years. I like some parts of it, but not others. I like the people. Some of the people are so kind to me.

Wildcat: What is it about the United States that you don't like?

Sumiya: Food. Horrible food. But I like the french fries ... they are OK.

Wildcat: I notice you're eating some Panda Express. That could be a part of your disgust with food. That stuff will make you glow in the dark. I eat there every day and I no longer require the use of a flashlight.

Sumiya: Ha-ha! MSG! Actually, I don't think so ... Panda is all right.

Wildcat: I think Godzilla came into being after some poor little lizard ate it. I guess you don't have to worry about him out here though.

Sumiya: No Godzilla ... just the sun. The sun is bad ... very hot!

Wildcat: If you had to have some sort of abnormality brought on by radioactive exposure, what would it be?

Sumiya: (laughing) A third arm because it would make things easy.

Wildcat: What place in the world has been your favorite destination?

Sumiya: Oh ... let's see ... Alabama. The people there are so nice to me.

Wildcat: Wow ... the good old South. Are you a country music fan?

Sumiya: (grimaces) Blah, it's horrible! I don't like country music.

Wildcat: You could try to bring your rock influence down into the backwoods. That neon yellow hair could inspire a revolution.
