Kansas Wesleyan

After our extended stay in Texas, we fly from Dallas into Wichita, Kansas, to be greeted by Gary Harman of Kansas Wesleyan College. He took us back to Salina where the college was based, and after settling into our hotel we headed to dinner with Gary and his wife, and the two students we'd be debating the next day. Dinner was both delicious and exciting – it was a Japanese Steak house, where we sat around the grill on which our chef for the evening cooked our food, a cooking process that involved impressive flair and many a trick involving fire and throwing things around. It was a great evening!

The next day, we got to see some of the campus and meet more of the debate team. Meriah, who we'd debate later, took us out to show us a bit of Salina. The day was punctuated with the excitement of it being election day, with polling stations around the town and people with stickers patriotically proclaiming their commitment to the democratic system. Our debate that evening was in-keeping with the theme of the mid-terms election, where we proposed the state funding and capping of election campaign spending, and a very interesting debate ensued. We headed out afterwards to a great steak house, and then watched some of the election result coverage with some of the team. As keen followers of American politics, and having visited states of a variety of hues of both red and blue, it was an exciting night
