A visit to the Amish Country.

Most popular car model among the Amish: Stallion.

Do you think the sky is pretty? Cloud count: 0.00.

The Amish are a group of extremist Christians. And I really mean EXTREME.

Go Wiki them!

This is not a toy! It is a fully functioning telephone!

Angel Cake. It looks suspiciously like a sponge cake. Wait, it IS a sponge cake. It's named Angel Cake because they jacked the price up all the way to heaven. $7USD for white pandan cake.

Whoops! I didn't manage to snap any photos of the Amish! Anyway, they weren't free to entertain us. We went on a saturday afternoon. They were busy preparing their houses for church on sunday. The Amish take turns to hold services in homes. The church a few pictures up is for people who are not Amish but stay among the Amish (probably to make money from the tourists). Go Wiki them (again)!

I read this in a book in Borders: "Our children know nothing except to go to church."
