Road manners and Indiana

the ppl here stick 2 speed limits for the most part... barely saw anyone speeding.. no zigzegging 2 overtake... no honking... no road rage.. there's some kind of understanding i guess that everyone just respects each other on the road.. i think it's quite cool actually!!!

Even i personally have been guilty of zig zagging 2 over take.. only on occassion though:)

Initially, i got here i felt that no one smiled at me.. altho i smiled at them.. and i though that it was coz i was indian... but now ppl r smiling at me:) maybe b'coz i'm buying stuff from them.. haha...

We went to Indiana yesterday... Saw the Amish ppl.. went to the museum... very interesting.. they all wear plain-coloured clothes... white bonnets.... and ride buggies... which r horses which pull a carriages with ppl in them... the whole place smelled like horse poop... but bsides that... it was good:) they were persecuted.. much like most othr religions.. be'coz of their faith.. and way if living...

They all believe in Jesus.. but choose to be cut off from worldly things.. so they dont have cars.. or computers or TV.... they all sit 2gether at meals.. hold property in common... respect for family life.. no contraception or birth control.. each family has 8-12 children.... The city is quiet.. it basically goes 2 sleep at about 7pm.. it only gets dark here at 10.. so there's a lot to do:)
